According to the backtrace, DbgNode here should be TempEnumTypes. In a correct flow, TempEnumTypes has been initialized by createCompileUnit() to a temporary node (a MDNodeFwdDecl nowadays). This cast should not be able to fail if you have called createCompileUnit() and of course if TempEnumTypes hasn’t been corrupted. Can you check that the value you have at that point is the same that was assigned by createCompileUnit()? If not, then you have your bug (another thought: would it be possible that finalize is called twice on the same CU?).

But it is the equivalent assertion in Value::RAUW that you are hitting and that has been there forever. Looking at your exact revision, the assertion seems to trigger while executing:
