Except it is still ICEing.  There was a discussion before (I cannot
find it right now) that made the following considered a regression:
anything to ICE (even after an error, though not a blocking one)
works to wrong code
rejects invalid to accepts valid
accepts invalid to rejects valid
diagnostic regressions

And there was a previous discussion about setting the priority too
(the release manager is the only one who should be setting it too).
