Fixes: #1847
This assertion is checking a property that, as far as I can tell, isn't enforced anywhere. Nothing bad happens in a release build with assertions switched off, so I think the best solution is to replace the assertion with an error message.
As I mentioned in #1847, I am only able to reproduce this with the fuzzer, which means that the test that I have added isn't a proper regression test. So the main purpose of adding a test is to add the poc to our fuzzing corpus.
