There is no crash on 5.1.54, so this looks like a regression:

Verified with current mysql-trunk on 32-bit Ubuntu:

Version: '5.6.1-m5-debug'  socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock'  port: 3306  Source distribution
mysqld: sql_string.h:253: String& String::operator=(const String&): Assertion `!s.uses_buffer_owned_by(this)' failed.

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong
and this may fail.

key_buffer_size=8388608
read_buffer_size=131072
max_used_connections=1
max_threads=151
thread_count=1
connection_count=1
It is possible that mysqld could use up to 
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 337976 K
bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went

The same crash happens with utf8:

do convert(cast(substring_index(format(1,'1111'), format('','Zpq'),1) as binary(0)) using utf8);

      Bug#58371 Assertion failed: !s.uses_buffer_owned_by(this) with format string function
      
      Introduced by the fix for bug#44766.
      
      Problem: it's not correct to use args[0]->str_value as a buffer,
      because args[0] may need this buffer for its own purposes.
      
      Fix: adding a new class member tmp_value to use as return value.

In debug builds, SUBSTRING_INDEX(FORMAT(...), FORMAT(...)) could
cause a server crash.
