(synopsis is provisional, until the root cause is found)

Note: this happens even after JDK-8229483, which does not make it duplicate of that issue. Also, there is similar thing seen in valhalla, JDK-8230798.

Found with fuzzing. Reliably reproduces with the attached testcase (0021.tar.gz). Also seen to happen in 11.
