Consider a module-info.class which contains the (currently illegal) `requires transitive java.base;`. This may lead to a crash like this:
---
$ javac -p <path-to-directory-containing-broken-module-info.class> --add-modules m -XDshould-stop.at=FLOW -XDdev Test.java
error: cannot access module-info
  bad class file: .../module-info.class
    bad requires flag: ACC_TRANSITIVE (0x0020
    Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.
1 error
