multi.c line 2561 in 7.35.0 is Curl_expire() getting called with a NULL multi
pointer. I don't see how that's happening in a functional case.

But if your deescription is indeed correct and you don't get that 1ms timeout
callback then something is seriously not working as supposed.
curl_multi_add_handle() is not complicated and I think you can instrument it
with printf()s or single-step with a debugger to figure out what's going on!
