If you used manual with fixed ISO and the exif data show’s consistency in the values, then isn’t the only possibility that the light changed?

In theory, yes, that's why this is so curious, because that definitely isn't what happened.

1. I took 7 stacks then and there and each showed the same behavior: First shot correctly exposed, rest overblown, although settings are (seem to be) the same.

I suspect that the aperture is returned to f/2.8 after the first shot. Maybe do a trial an look into the lens what happens to the aperture. And then forget about the mess of taking stacks, they are not worth the hassle, especially if parts of the subject overlap within the stack, that will always lead to horrible artifacts that no software can remedy because they are down to the physical facts of focusing "through" foreground elements which will be depicted unsharp but larger as they are in the stack layer that is sharp...
