woops, I messed up the minimisation, here's a snipped that retains the ErrorGuaranteed

//@ compile-flags -Zvalidate-mir -Zmir-enable-passes=+GVN
#![feature(trait_upcasting)]

trait A {}
trait B: A {
    fn c(&self);
}
impl B for i32 {
    fn c(self) {
        todo!();
    }
}

    let baz: &dyn B = &1;
    let bar: &dyn A = baz;
}

[compiler-errors]

Pretty sure this always was an ICE with debug assertions. All that #135318 likely did was remove the debug assertion gating.

[matthiaskrgr]

Hmm...
I know that I'v been seeing various "failed to resolve instance" ICEs for some time now so that particular code point was already reachable before without debug assertions.
Looking at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/135318/files there were some un-debug-assertion-isation in vtables() (which does not show up in the backtrace) and in unsize_into_ptr() so it's probably this one?
