This is a serious regression in nightly and it's important to fix it before the next release.
@matklad, please take a look.

Make sure to remove the new changelog post created when running `cargo xtask release` a second time.
We release "nightly" every night automatically and promote the latest nightly to "stable" manually, every week.
We don't do "patch" releases, unless something truly egregious comes up.
To do a patch release, cherry-pick the fix on top of the current `release` branch and push the branch.
There's no need to write a changelog for a patch release, it's OK to include the notes about the fix into the next weekly one.
Note: we tag releases by dates, releasing a patch release on the same day should work (by overwriting a tag), but I am not 100% sure.
