The block that caused the segfault doesn't work the way you think it does, because of precedence: 
perl -MO=Deparse -e '               
(@n=(1,2) && ($n[1],$n[0]));                  
(@n=(1,2) && ($n[1],$n[0]));                   
(@n=(1,2) && ($n[1],$n[0]));                   
'
@n = ('???', 2) && ($n[1], $n[0]);
@n = ('???', 2) && ($n[1], $n[0]);
@n = ('???', 2) && ($n[1], $n[0]);

Using 'and' instead of && would work, or an extra set of parens. 
perl -MO=Deparse -e '
(@n=(1,2) && ($n[1],$n[0]));
((@n=(1,2)) && ($n[1],$n[0]));
(@n=(1,2) and ($n[1],$n[0]));  
'
@n = ('???', 2) && ($n[1], $n[0]);
$n[1], $n[0] if @n = (1, 2);
$n[1], $n[0] if @n = (1, 2);

As for the segfault itself, I don't grok why it breaks but Devel::Peek gives a hint: 

perl -MDevel::Peek -le '
(@n=(1,2) && ($n[1],$n[0])); print Dump \@n;
(@n=(1,2) && ($n[1],$n[0])); print Dump \@n;'

Note that the array entries changed from :
