The error is coming from exec_byte_code:

  if (MAX_ALLOCA / word_size <= XFASTINT (maxdepth))
    memory_full (SIZE_MAX);

It's more like a Lisp stack overflow than a memory exhausted situation
though, hardly calls for restarting Emacs.  Perhaps the byte compiler
should refuse to compile such a large expression?

I can't reproduce in Emacs 26, but only because MAX_ALLOCA is bigger, I
think.
