$ exec -cl /bin/bash --norc --noprofile
$ [[ x ]]
$ [[ ]]
$ [[ x ]]
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `x'

Looks like a bug to me.
Apparently [[ ]] evokes the bug, and the next use of [[ reports a syntax error

Please try latest bash

 werner@noether:/usr/src/werner/bash/bash> exec -cl /abuild/oscbuild/standard/bin/bash --norc --noprofile
 bash-5.2$ [[ x ]]
 bash-5.2$ [[ ]]  
 bash: syntax error near `]]'
 bash-5.2$ [[ x ]]
 bash-5.2$ echo $BASH_VERSION 
 5.2.21(1)-release
 bash-5.2$
