So this doesn't get forgotten.  Too many rabbit holes already.

    $ git describe
    1.7-branchpoint-10-ga091c28b
    $ uip/scan -format '' -file /dev/null
    scan: sbr/m_getfld.c:461: read_more: Assertion `retain <= s->readpos - s->msg_buf' failed.
    Aborted (core dumped)
    $

I did git-bisect(1) it.  Over time, it homed in on the enabling of assert(3)s by default.  :-)
