Thanks for the report.  It's still there in 6.9:

$ tr --version | head -n1
tr (GNU coreutils) 6.9
$ tr  -c '\012[a-z][A-Z][0-9].' '[_*256]'
assertion "get_next (s2, NULL) == -1 || truncate_set1" failed: file
"/home/eblake/coreutils-6.9-1/src/coreutils-6.9/src/tr.c", line 1819

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
