compiler exception: "Too many nodes written to output"

[dkent600]

TypeScript Version: 2.1.4

Code

// A *self-contained* demonstration of the problem follows...
export class Test  {
    constructor() {

        let outerArray: Array<number> = [1, 2, 3];
        let innerArray: Array<number> = [1, 2, 3];

        for (let outer of outerArray)
            for (let inner of innerArray) {
                this.aFunction((newValue, oldValue) => {
                    console.log(`${outer} ${inner} ${newValue}`);
                });
            }
    }

    public aFunction(func: (newValue: any, oldValue: any) => void): void {
    }
}

tsconfig looks like this:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "target": "es5"
  },
  "files": [ "test.ts" ]
}

Expected behavior:
Should compile

Actual behavior:
The typescript compiler (tsc.exe) fails on an assertion, throwing the following exception:

Error: Debug Failure. False expression: Too many nodes written to output.

Error goes away if you set "target" to "es6"

[dkent600]

Error also goes away if you use regular javascript for loops, like:

for (let i = 0; i < outerArray.length; i++)
      for (let j = 0; j < innerArray.length; j++)

This is a work-around
