Hmm, I had a similar complaint when we merged the code. I'd much rather see
those BUG statements removed entirely, and have an error return code back to
the jit. However, the counter argument was that the jitted code has already
been verified at this point, so any errors really are fatal.

So, I think your patch is probably the best thing we can do without
reopening that discussion.
