Research direction

Start by compiling the reduced example with the listed nightly rustc command and inspect compiler/rustc_const_eval/src/const_eval/valtrees.rs around line 458. Trace valtree_to_const_val through the reported query stack and compare the BoundsCheckFailed with the existing diagnostics. Done means the reproducer no longer causes an internal compiler error and reports the invalid constant appropriately.
