A few seconds grep suggests this is due to the code in newline, added ~
3 years ago in 62ee8b1 ("Add assertions to try and help catch bug#18913").
The complete lack of progress in that report since then suggests it may
be time to remove/downgrade those assertions.
This bug report was last modified 4 years and 224 days ago.
