Description

Groovy fails to compile:

boolean[] b = [true]; b[0] &= false;

with an error:

Caught: BUG! exception in phase 'class generation' in source unit 'script_from_command_line' should not reach here
BUG! exception in phase 'class generation' in source unit 'script_from_command_line' should not reach here

when running:

groovy -e "boolean[] b = [true]; b[0] &= false;"

Alternative formats work fine, such as:

groovy -e "boolean[] b = [true]; b[0] = false && b[0];"

Similarly affects |= and ^= operators.
