The following program:

package p

func F() {
	switch t := nil.(type) {
	default:
		_ = t
	}
}

crashes the go1.7.5, go1.8.1 and tip compilers with the following error:

# command-line-arguments
./prova.go:4: cannot type switch on non-interface value nil
./prova.go:4: internal compiler error: got nil for t

It happens with type switching on anything untyped:

const x = 1

func G() {
	switch t := x.(type) {
	default:
	}
}

Testing a fix now.

@tzneal awesome. There's an outside chance that your fix might also address #19977 -- worth checking, anyway.

If it doesn't, I have a patch for #19977 (in fact, I found this bug while working on that one).
