This is AFAICT due to the utility statement already having gone through parse
analysis and thus have the constraints list already set here.  Forcing a read-
only protection via the functionality from 7c337b6b5 the assertion is avoided
and the function executes as expected:

Maintaining a list of statements that scribble and force those to readonly
could be a way forward?  Forcing processing of all utility statements to be
readonly seems like a blunt instrument here, not sure what the best course of
action would be.
