metal-rs examples fail with SIGILL on recent nightlies, still works on stable

Running examples (from HEAD of this repository) fails:

alexbool@alexbool-osx ~/D/I/metal-rs> rustc -vV
rustc 1.27.0-nightly (fb44b4c0e 2018-04-04)
binary: rustc
commit-hash: fb44b4c0eb1d344f84f7bb2c90f28e31a8a180be
commit-date: 2018-04-04
host: x86_64-apple-darwin
release: 1.27.0-nightly
LLVM version: 6.0

Still works on stable (1.25.0). I think this is rust issue, but cannot figure it out.

It seems the objc send is failing, returning an undefined MessageError which on display in the panic!() tries to allocate a huge vec. My guess it it's due to SSheldon/rust-objc#62.
