`geom_rug()` gives an unhelpful error w/ `coord_radial()`

data.frame(x = seq(0, 360, 20), y = 1:19) |>
  ggplot2::ggplot() +
  ggplot2::geom_point(
    ggplot2::aes(x = x, y = y)
  ) +
  ggplot2::coord_radial() +
  ggplot2::geom_rug(
    ggplot2::aes(y = NULL, x = x)
  )

Error in `ggplot2::geom_rug()`:
! Problem while converting geom to grob.
ℹ Error occurred in the 2nd layer.
Caused by error in `$<-.data.frame`:
! replacement has 0 rows, data has 19
Run `rlang::last_trace()` to see where the error occurred.

It might make sense for geom_rug() not to work with coord_radial(), but this isn't a helpful error message for a user.

For clarity, I only encountered this when writing a package function that can optionally return a radial plot - I wasn't really after putting a rug on a polar plot. But it was a strange error to debug!

The same code works fine with coord_cartesian().

Cheers!

Start by running the reproducible example with geom_rug() and coord_radial(), then compare it with the coord_cartesian() version. Trace the geom-to-grob conversion to determine whether the combination should be rejected clearly or handled differently; done means the radial example no longer produces an unhelpful error.
