Current and expected behavior

input.js is terminated normally:

$ node input.js # no error

but under noNewArrow assumption, Babel fails to transpile input.js:

By the way, when I used variable declaration instead of assignment expression, (var x = async x => 0) the transpilation terminates normally.

Environment

• Babel version: 7.19.1
• Node: v18.11.0
• npm version: 8.19.2
• OS: macos 12.4
