Good question. At least C reproducer from https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=30b53487d00b4f7f0922
works for me again, and the backtrace (reported with KASAN) is very similar to one reported with UBSAN
at https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=caacd220635a9cc3bac9 (see console log from there):
