We're dealing with two type of assertion violations / crashes / backtraces:
- in update_frame_line, that causes chcheckmagic to fail
- in build_frame_matrix_from_leaf_window, assertion violation

With the same build I mentioned in the top post (that is, without any
code change), I can see both, after following the same instructions I
posted.
The update_frame_line happens much more frequently, therefore I
thought that the update_frame_line was fixed in 71289; but it's not: I
just reproduced the update_frame_line issue.

So you can't be sure that the original assertion violation is gone.
Your build may have crashed with the update_frame_line crash, before
reaching the build_frame_matrix_from_leaf_window crash.
The best would be to solve both crashes :-)

I don't know whether both crashes are related.
