My mistake: it's failing because of -fsanitize=alignment.
Here's the stack trace:

It failed at
-> 1552 if (!PageIsNew(page) && PageGetLSN(page) < sink->bbs_state->startptr)
and the problem is evidently that the page pointer isn't nicely aligned:
(lldb) p page
(char *) $4 = 0x00007fdeded7e041 ""
(I checked the "sink" data structure too for luck, but it seems fine.)
I see that thorntail has now also fallen over, presumably for
the same reason.
