I took an initial look at this one.  I can dig more tomorrow unless
Peter beats me to it.

It's an infinite loop in find_rela_by_dest_range() because offset is -8.
That comes from find_jump_table():

  table_offset = text_rela->addend;
  table_sec = text_rela->sym->sec;
  ...
  table_rela = find_rela_by_dest(file->elf, table_sec, table_offset);

which comes from this gem:

00000000000001fd <line_set>:
 1fd:	48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 	movabs $0x0,%rax
 204:	00 00 00 
			1ff: R_X86_64_64	.rodata-0x8

So objtool is getting confused by that -0x8 rela addend.
