It was the shortest test to reproduce the bug.

A more restricted config:
# aplay -fFLOAT_LE /dev/zero
pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave.pcm { type null }
    slave.format FLOAT_LE
    ttable.0.0 1
}
But that test was enough to reproduce "Assertion failed" bug too.

Actually I've hit this bug with a complex ladspa upmixing code:
pcm.upmix {
    type plug
    slave.pcm {
        type ladspa
        slave.pcm {
            type plug
            slave.pcm "..."
            ttable { ... }
        }
        plugins [ ... ]
    }
    ttable { ... }
}
similar to this:

This bug crashed the application for me (it generates SIGABRT)
so I thought that it should be fixed.
