needs_help: wip fix 146190

[sgasho]

related: issue #146190

hmm...I'm not confident at all. I've encountered so many build failures, runtime errors, etc(this commit passes build process anyway). As a rustc beginner, I'm overwhelmed by the flood of information and am struggling to fix this issue in a proper way.

I would appreciate it if someone could review the changes in this commit and provide guidance on the appropriate direction for the fix or any considerations that should be taken into account.

at least this test case fails for incorrect error span.
TODO: I rebuild with ./x build and show what is going wrong tomorrow....busy for today
