I cannot reproduce this, with today's master of Emacs and of ELPA.  I
tried on GNU/Linux (in -nw) and on MS-Windows (in a GUI session), and
both didn't trigger the assertion (tried with 3 executables, including
those you mentioned).  I'm guessing some particular byte sequence
present in your binaries triggers this.  So please provide more
details.

P.S.  I frequently wonder why veteran experienced users omit crucial
information from their bug reports, such as the C backtrace in this
case, that is very easy for them to collect.  Please don't ever assume
that something which is 100% reproducible on your system can be
similarly easily reproduced on any other system, and that therefore
those details are an unnecessary luxury.
