	Here's the source code where it dies:

 >         /* If the template is the string "#", it means that this insn must
 >            be split.  */
 >         if (template[0] == '#' && template[1] == '\0')
 >           {
 >             rtx new = try_split (body, insn, 0);
 >  
 >             /* If we didn't split the insn, go away.  */
 >             if (new == insn && PATTERN (new) == body)
 >               fatal_insn ("Could not split insn", insn);
 >  
 > #ifdef HAVE_ATTR_length
 >             /* This instruction should have been split in shorten_branches,
 >                to ensure that we would have valid length info for the
 >                splitees.  */
 >             abort ();     <<<<<---- line 2915 ----
 > #endif
 >  
 >             new_block = 0;
 >             return new;
 >           }

	If there's any other useful info I can provide, let me know.
And if someone else reproduces this, I'd like to hear confirmation.
