Okay, but the bug is triggered since 6c2fb2ea76361da9, so I took this
one for the fixes-tag.

FWIW it looks like it *has* always been possible to hit this crash by allocating a domain and freeing it again without attaching any devices, it's just highly improbable for any sane code to do that explicitly, so the real latent triggers are failure paths in external callers (which in this case are themselves only being reached thanks to my bug elsewhere).
