Sorry, I still didn't read the whole thread... but I think what to do
depends on what is happening.

Most callers of copy_type are probably copying it to modify the copy.
If this is the case, then maybe just removing the assert is ok.
Or, maybe it makes sense to understand why the modified type isn't
objfile-allocated in the first place.

Could you recap?  What is calling copy_type here and where did the type
come from?
