Description
When trying to compile ClojureScript, if an invalid octal literal is present in the source code, e.g. 08 or 09, an exception will be thrown, but the exception does not explain what the issue was, or which line and column the error occurred on:
clojure.lang.ExceptionInfo: failed compiling file:test/myns/myfile.cljs

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException:
Also of note, this doesn't fail in the bootstrapped reader, which suggests there may be a bug there.
