Stable extensions by line bundles on Riemann surfaces

Is there a compact Riemann surface $X$ and a line bundle $L$ of negative degree on $X$, such that for any nontrivial extension
$$ 0 rightarrow L rightarrow E rightarrow L^{-1} rightarrow 0, $$
$E$ is a stable vector bundle on $X$? Any comment and reference is welcome, thank you.

This never happens. Pick a point $pin X$; the exact sequence $0rightarrow L^{2}rightarrow L^{2}(p)rightarrow mathbb{C}_prightarrow 0$ gives rise to an exact sequence $0rightarrow mathbb{C}xrightarrow{ partial } H^1(L^2)longrightarrow H^1(L^2(p))rightarrow 0$. The class
$e:=partial (1)$ in $H^1(L^2)cong operatorname{Ext}^1(L^{-1},L) $ maps to $0$ in $operatorname{Ext}^1(L^{-1}(-p),L) $, hence it defines a nontrivial extension of $L^{-1}$ by $L$ which becomes trivial when pulled back to $L^{-1}(-p)$. This means that the extension bundle $E$ contains $L^{-1}(-p)$, hence is not stable.

Thank you very much! By the openness of stability, we know that the unstable extensions form a subvariety of Ext$^1(L^{-1},L)$ of codimension $ge 1$. Can we expect that the subvariety has codimension $>1$ for some general Riemann surfaces? For example $g(X) > 1$.

If $X$ is a Riemann surface of genus $g>1$, I proved that there always exist stable extension bundles.@abx

Yes, I think that quite generally the subvariety of unstable extensions has high codimension. You might have a look at a paper by A. Bertram, Moduli of rank-2 vector bundles, theta divisors, and the geometry of curves in projective space (J. Differential Geom. 35 (1992), no. 2, 429-469). He does a detailed analysis (in a slightly different situation) of the stability of extensions.
