"EmitAssignment" doesn't call "EmitSuperMethodBegin" that initializes the "this" register for the case when the super keyword is used. 

Here's the generated bytecode for the lambda function in the PoC. R5 is uninitialized.
Function Anonymous function ( (#1.3), #4) (In0) (size: 7 [7])
      9 locals (1 temps from R8), 1 inline cache

        (() => {
            super.a = 10;  // Implicitly use the "this" register. So it must be initialized.
