Assertion `table->file->stats.records > 0 || error' failed join_read_const_table on concurrent SELECT and DROP/ADD INDEX

Version: '5.5.24-MariaDB-debug-log'
mysqld: sql/sql_select.cc:16432: int join_read_const_table(JOIN_TAB*, POSITION*): Assertion `table->file->stats.records > 0 || error' failed.

Trying to get some variables.
Some pointers may be invalid and cause the dump to abort.
Query (0x28024f8): SELECT t1.f FROM A AS t1 LEFT JOIN B AS t2 ON 0 WHERE t1.f != 5
Connection ID (thread ID): 7
Status: NOT_KILLED

Below is stack trace for all threads (this time the test was run with skip-innodb and aria-checkpoint-interval=0 to reduce the number of involved threads, although neither is needed to reproduce the problem).

revno: 3425

With the provided RQG grammar, depending on the machine and luck, sometimes it takes several seconds, sometimes almost 10 minutes to get the failure, but I ran it numerous times, tried on 3 machines, and it always happened, sooner or later.
In all cases I built server as
cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
no other parameters.

Could not reproduce on maria-5.3.

# RQG grammar (1.yy):

thread1_init:

CREATE TABLE A (f INT) ENGINE=Aria; CREATE TABLE B (f INT) ENGINE=Aria; INSERT INTO B VALUES (6),(9),(7),(8),(7),(7),(2),(1),(9),(2);

thread1:
  ALTER TABLE A ADD INDEX (f) ; DROP INDEX f ON A ;

thread2:
  DROP INDEX f ON B ; ALTER TABLE B ADD INDEX (f) ;

query:
  SELECT t1.f FROM A AS t1 LEFT JOIN table AS t2 ON 0 WHERE t1.f != _digit ;

table:
  A | B ;
