This should probably be

    assert(is_break((ir_instruction *)t->ir->else_instructions.get_tail()));

The fact that this wasn't hit suggests that maybe we need a piglit test 
for this?

(I generally suggest running CTS / piglit with an optimized build that 
has assertions enabled. My configure line for that looks like this:

../mesa-src/configure --prefix=$PREFIX_SAN --enable-sanitize=address 
--with-dri-drivers=no --with-gallium-drivers=swrast,r300,r600,radeonsi 
--with-egl-platforms=x11,drm --enable-texture-float 
--enable-llvm-shared-libs --enable-glx-tls --enable-debug 
--with-vulkan-drivers=radeon CC=/usr/lib/ccache/cc 
CXX=/usr/lib/ccache/c++ "CFLAGS=-fno-omit-frame-pointer -g -O2" 
"CXXFLAGS=-fno-omit-frame-pointer -g -O2"

Now that I look at it, parts are probably outdated, but the basic idea 
of --enable-debug and -g -O2 is sound :) )

Cheers,
Nicolai
