Three of these cites look like they support a noun debending, not this verb. Or do we treat those uses as gerunds? This, that and the other (talk) 23:05, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

@Einstein2 does this look good to pass? Ioaxxere (talk) 05:43, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Hmm, two of the three works cited (1987, 2018) use bend in a clearly verbal sense. By that analogy, I would say we could treat these occurrences of debending as gerunds of debend, so I would leave the entry under its current POS. I've also just added two verbal uses from Usenet.
