When you run `bazel info --flag_alias=host_foo=@foo//:test` with a simple `string_flag`:
```bzl
load("@bazel_skylib//rules:common_settings.bzl", "string_flag")
string_flag(
name = "test",
build_setting_default = "value",
)
```
`bazel build` doesn't repro the crash. It also doesn't repro without the `host_` prefix
