Please re-open, either this issue occurs inconsistently or I accidentally had panic handlers disabled. Occured in 5.0-9739 and 5.0-9984.

Deleting ...Dolphin Emulator\Cache\Shaders has no effect on this issue but deleting both ...Dolphin Emulator\Cache\Shaders and 00000000.uidcache makes this issue temporary disappear. Something in the attached 00000000.uidcache may be causing this problem.

Sounds like Gecko OS is sending an incorrect configuration to the GPU, and these are getting persisted in the UID cache the next boot. I've verified some of the other "bad" register combinations on hardware and they just cause broken rendering, not GPU hangs. But I haven't tested the sourcerow one specifically.
IMO, the fix is to log a warning and either replace it with a default value, or fail the shader compiling in the first place and skip the draw. Matching the excact "undefined" behavior on the hardware could be tricky because sometimes the behavior is based on the last thing drawn/whatever was last in the registers.

I haven't seen this issue in a while so I think we can assume it's fixed. Currently using 5.0-11094.
