Also reproducible on maria/5.5 revno 3407.

The only test case I have for now is the RQG grammar below. It reproduces the problem on relatively decent machines (2x4 cores or 4x2 cores), and it takes from 1 to 30 minutes to get the assertion.
Coredump, server datadir with Aria logs and stack traces can be found on hasky.

The test was run with aria-checkpoint-interval=1 and aria-checkpoint-log-activity=0, but this is not essential, it just allows to get the failure somewhat faster.

RQG grammar (test.yy):

query1:

        SELECT alias1 . _field_indexed AS field1 FROM A AS alias1, B;              

query:

     query1 ; CREATE TABLE _tmptable[invariant] AS query1 LIMIT 0; DELETE FROM _tmptable[invariant] ; INSERT INTO _tmptable[invariant] query1 ; DELETE FROM _tmptable[invariant] ; DROP TABLE _tmptable[invariant] ;

Run as:

--queries=100M \

--rows=1,200 \
