HashMap with Path key crashes rustc

[dextero]

Hello,

Lately I've been experimenting with Rust, and it seems I accidentally managed to crash rustc. Trying to compile following snippet:

#![feature(path)]
use std::collections::HashMap;
use std::path::Path;

fn main() {
    let mut map = HashMap::new();
    map.insert(Path::new("a"), 0);
    map.get(Path::new("a"));
}

... causes an assertion fail:

$ RUST_BACKTRACE=1 rustc --verbose src/main.rs
rustc: /home/rustbuild/src/rust-buildbot/slave/nightly-dist-rustc-linux/build/src/llvm/lib/IR/Instructions.cpp:1083: void llvm::StoreInst::AssertOK(): Assertion `getOperand(0)->getType() == cast<PointerType>(getOperand(1)->getType())->getElementType() && "Ptr must be a pointer to Val type!"' failed.
[1]    30171 abort (core dumped)  rustc --verbose src/main.rs

Specifying an explicit variable type prevents crashing. Such code:

#![feature(path)]
use std::collections::HashMap;
use std::path::Path;

fn main() {
    let mut map: HashMap<Path, i32> = HashMap::new();
    map.insert(Path::new("a"), 0);
    map.get(Path::new("a"));
}

... produces an compile-time error as expected:

$ rustc --verbose src/main.rs
src/main.rs:6:18: 6:36 error: the trait `core::marker::Sized` is not implemented for the type `[u8]` [E0277]
src/main.rs:6     let mut map: HashMap<Path, i32> = HashMap::new();
                               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
src/main.rs:6:18: 6:36 note: `[u8]` does not have a constant size known at compile-time
src/main.rs:6     let mut map: HashMap<Path, i32> = HashMap::new();
                               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
src/main.rs:7:9: 7:34 error: type `std::collections::hash::map::HashMap<std::path::Path, i32>` does not implement any method in scope named `insert`
src/main.rs:7     map.insert(Path::new("a"), 0);
                      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
src/main.rs:8:9: 8:28 error: type `std::collections::hash::map::HashMap<std::path::Path, i32>` does not implement any method in scope named `get`
src/main.rs:8     map.get(Path::new("a"));
                      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
error: aborting due to 3 previous errors

The [u8] in the error message is quite surprising, though - it's not entirely clear what's really going on without looking at the libstd code. I would rather expect to see a Path there.

Both snippets were tested on 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 and compiled with two versions of rustc (the behavior is exactly the same for both):

I cannot reproduce on the latest (2015-05-09) nightly (64bit linux).
