This superficially looks like https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/50115 though some details of the MCE differ. Best to just create an issue if you’re unsure; ICEs are high-profile and nobody will be bothered by a duplicate issue.

For other ICEs, yes, they should be counted as long as they exists. But for this, no. I have learned from the relevent issues that this feature is currently not in a useable status, so maybe just wait and see if this fixed in another day. There are already a couple issues have been raised regarding this.
