This must have been:

        Streams.cycle(Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3)).uniqueElements().toArray();

as the framework knows that one is trying to push an infinite stream into a non-short circuiting terminal operation.

I think the conclusion is we should not bother throwing the ISE and just let things run out of memory.
