ICE: 'rustc' panicked at 'assertion failed: *start <= *end'

I got an ICE while updating rust-protobuf to latest nightly rust (rustc 0.13.0-nightly (88b6e93d3 2014-10-31 23:36:48 +0000)), here's the backtrace:

Thanks for the report! Closing as a dupe of #18490, feel free to track that issue for progress on it (in fact, I believe a fix for it is just about to land).
