That was imprecise. It should read "installing libopenblas-openmp-dev" and
removing both "libopenblas-pthread-dev libopenblas0-pthread".

I cannot reproduce the bug on the hardware I have access to (i5, i7, xeon)
though I was able to a few weeks ago. Maybe something changed already...

There was also a brief thread on the debian-science list (within Debian)
starting with https://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2020/04/msg00081.html
and leading to https://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2020/05/msg00003.html
(and this cross from April to May)

We would need some more information on hardware to chase this.
