Whoa. We get different output with assertions enabled? Now, *that* does sound like a bug to me.

If an assertion fails somewhere the compilation should've failed. We need to track down the source of this divergence.
Making back-end changes to avoid `add symbol, const` may be just hiding the problem. It's also something to be fixed, but the divergence in the assertions-enabled build is a more severe problem, IMO.
