That slur-rest.ly was likely on the slate of LilyPond when this bombed
out.  Did you manually compile using

out/bin/lilypond input/regression/slur-rest.ly

or did you use some other command line?  It is worth noting that
slur-rest.ly looks very harmless.

Only ASCII characters and the single occurence of # is as

\layout { ragged-right = ##t }

I don't think corruption can easily explain that.
