it might be that something has been broken over the years

it might be, given the complete absence of tests and examples for that feature. It isn't, though: with a different pseudopotential (Co.pbesol-n-kjpaw_psl.1.0.0.UPF) not containing semi-core states, neither the current code nor the first version (5.0.3) implementing DFT+U with pseudopotential projectors crash. The results seem to be the same (convergence is nasty as usual so it is difficult to get exactly the same numbers).

A comment in PW/src/init_q_aeps.f90 seems to confirm that the problem is in the logic used to choose the projectors:

  ! NOTE: one might run into troubles when using a PP with semicore
  ! states with same l as valence states (also otherwhere for DFT+Hubbard
