REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
I couldn't derive a test case.
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Using the Eclipse compiler in IDEA builds the same codebase just fine. Turning off javac parallel compilation produces a slightly different stacktrace but still crashes every time.

Hopefully the stacktrace provided will be of some assistance.
