ICE in `cargo test` with CARGO_INCREMENTAL=1 on Cargo

[alexcrichton]

I've checked out Cargo at rust-lang/cargo@4ce099b and from a clean build directory I get:

$ CARGO_INCREMENTAL=1 cargo +nightly test
...
   Compiling cargo v0.18.0 (file:///home/alex/code/cargo)

note: the compiler unexpectedly panicked. this is a bug.

Thanks for the report!

Possible duplicate of #39508 ? Same error and it seems like both fail on testing a file called tests/metadata.rs
