I got an answer from the EnergyPlus staff, who were helpful enough to pinpoint the problem. Zone sizing in combination with the OtherSideConditionsModel made it crash.

Response from EP:

The problem is with the combination of zone sizing plus the OtherSideConditionsModel for the ICS model. This should be fine, but the zone sizing changes the order of input processing the collector is undefined when the surfaces are modeled during zone sizing. I have posted a new issue #4723 to get this fixed. For this particular file, you can get it running by deleting the sizing:zone object. I will post an issue to get this fixed.
