NPE at at jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.jvm.Code.emitop

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
javac crashes at "jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.jvm.Code.emitop0" with NPE when trying to compile a correct program. The program compiles successfully with 16.0.1 compiler, but crashes with 17.ea.22.

Pasting the error messages below. Also attached the source code with the bug report.

REGRESSION : Last worked in version 16.0.1

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
javac Main.java

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
compile successfully
ACTUAL -
javac crashes

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import java.util.function.Supplier;

class Main {
  public Integer foo(Object x) {
    Integer bar = 1;
    return ((x instanceof Number y) ?
        ((Supplier<Integer>) (() -> {
          return ((y instanceof Integer z) ? z : bar);
        })).get() : bar);
  }
}

---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Remove the bar variable and use an integer value directly.

FREQUENCY : always
