If it fails in any libc++ CI pipeline, you should be able to craft the same 
code to fail within Clang's test suite. The changes in the patch all look 
correct to me; the problem is that the patch claims to be NFC when it's not. It 
is making a functional change (it fixes assertions you were able to hit) and it 
has no test coverage for that.
