REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
more information from submitter -

haven't been able to revert the code and test on 1.7, or
determine exactly how to reproduce the crash. The Java constructions (I
noted in the report, and describe below) produced the crash in some
instances and not in others, and also gave validator(?) exceptions upon
loading, when classes with the constructions did compile. Some classes with
the constructions that compiled, on the other hand, would not give validator
exceptions when they were loaded. The main construction was the use of a
class,

public final class RefObject<T> {

    public T argvalue;

    public RefObject(T refarg) {
        argvalue = refarg;
    }

}

When some methods had arguments of type RefObject<Integer> val, the compiler
and validator problem would result from pre or post increment or decrement
of val's argvalue, like

"val.argvalue++;" or "++val.argvalue;", for example.
Comments
EVALUATION It seems like this is a duplicate of 6751514 (the stack trace looks very similar) - however, without an actual test case it's impossible to tell for sure.
