ICE with Unreachable patterns and Incremental compilation

Minimized Code

fn main() {
    const BOO: &[u8; 0] = &[];
    match &[] {
        [] => (),
        BOO => (), // unreachable pattern
        b"" => (), // unreachable pattern
    }
}

Summary

I got this ICE when compiling one of the UI test files ( slice-pattern-const.rs ) as a normal cargo project. How can that be? Well, compiler flags are different than in the test suit. The culprit turns out to be incremental compilation.

The following ICEs:

rustc main.rs -C incremental=true
cargo check

The following works as expected:

rustc main.rs
cargo build --release

There is a fun bonus bug in here:

cargo clean ; cargo check
delete the line b"" => (),
run cargo check
add that line again.
Now cargo check doesn't ICE anymore, on the original code.

Affected versions

The bug report is made with rustc 1.63.0-nightly (1fede1753 2022-05-28), but this ICE seems to be very old.
