ICE when assigning to member function pointer variable

When I attempt to assign to a variable of type &fn(&B), other than in the declaration of the variable, I get an unexpected panic in the compiler.

I tried this code:

struct B;

impl B {
    fn func(&self) { }
}

fn main() {
    let mut y = &B::func;
    y = &B::func;
}

I expected to see this happen: It should compile.

Instead, this happened: I got an internal compiler error:

error: internal compiler error: unexpected panic
note: the compiler unexpectedly panicked. this is a bug.
note: we would appreciate a bug report: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#bug-reports
