Description

This happens with e.g. M 10 10 A 5 5 0 0 0 10 10 because it fails to find any intersection points between the two degenerate circles centered on the end points.

Research direction

Start at fromSVGPathData and reproduce the crash with M 10 10 A 5 5 0 0 0 10 10. Trace the degenerate-circle intersection handling, then verify that importing this path completes without crashing and add or run the relevant regression test if one is available there.
