Two questions (no, *three* questions):
- How do you "turn on assertions"?
Do you refer to adding a #define DEBUG at the top of as.h?
- Why aren't assertions "turned on" by default between releases?
For the record, I don't see this as a reason to change whether
trailing ":" should be chopped of in this port (only its
implementation), but I think that's not what you meant.

Thanks for reporting. I'll have a look this weekend if not
before. Without looking, I'd guess it's as much chance that
this is a port bug as it is the assert machinery rotting or
misplaced asserts.
