I hit this assert when working on 8022595. It turned out that it reproduces reliably when compiled version for some MH.linkTo* intrinsics is absent. We eagerly compile generated intrinsics, but there's a window between method handle intrinsic creation (in SystemDictionary::find_method_handle_intrinsic) and it's compilation (CompileBroker::compile_method is non-blocking). And it heavily depends on the load on compiler.       

How to reproduce reliably:

- disable signature polymorphic MH intrinsic method compilation
