Without looking too closely, I'd make the observation that,
prior to 5.8.4,
aelemfast only applied to package arrays; with 5.8.4 I
changed it so that
it would work with lexical arrays too: the OPf_SPECIAL flag
does the
discimination:

    PP(pp_aelemfast)
    {
	dSP;
	AV *av = PL_op->op_flags & OPf_SPECIAL ?
		    (AV*)PAD_SV(PL_op->op_targ) : GvAV(cGVOP_gv);

The segfault might be related to that change.
