I get this on 1.14 pre-release 4 on my arch linux desktop and my xubuntu 18.04 laptop. Using OpenJDK 8.
Confirm on 14 pre 5.
Java:
openjdk version "1.8.0_201"

Confirmed 14pre5. Exact same as above. Changing to lwjgl 3.2.1 as above seems to have solved it temporarily.

In general, one of the workarounds we have employed locally is to use lwjgl-jemalloc 3.2.1 with the rest of lwjgl being at 3.1.6 on Linux - this hasn't caused any issues so far, and may be a consideration-worthy option.
I root-caused this to a change in jemalloc version. Prerelease 3 downgraded to LWJGL 3.1.6 (which includes jemalloc 5.1.0). Forcing the game to use lwjgl 3.2.1 (which includes jemalloc 5.2.0) solves the issue. See the details I wrote in MC-148505.
