I'm still trying to figure out what the matrix is, because I can
reproduce the crash on Debian's GCC 12 but not Ubuntu's GCC 13, etc.
It feels like there are a few corner cases involved here. So it's
not just the regular "new compiler changes" that usually break the
plugins. Regardless, I'm still digging...
