Wat no backtrace?

This seems weird. The filecache find logic should prevail here

backtrace... "-O2 -g"

Ah... nice bug!

dload.c:673 - pacman finds the package in the cache so does not download
dload.c:691 - attempts to download the required signature

However, because the package was not downloaded, _alpm_download is not called and so the final_file, final_pkg_url variables are unset.

strlen(NULL) -> segfault...
