 With QGIS Trunk r 15304, and Options > CRS > Prompt for CRS, then in
 Project properties I set projection as  WGS84 /UTM zone 43N and OFTR
 enabled, everything goes fine (load wgs84 layers and zoom out).

 If I set as QGIS default Options > CRS > Global default CRS, I load the
 csv layer and see it with wrong coordinates, then I set Project properties
 as above. I zoom to layer extent and get a popup window titled "qgis " and
 with text "Could not draw 54-22 because" and an empty space. In the shell
 I read:

  failed with error: latitude or longitude exceeded limits

  Debug: /home/anne/src/qgis/src/core/qgscoordinatetransform.cpp: 490:

 Failed to transform a point while drawing a feature of  type ''. Rendering

  (10316.6, 23900.4)

 This is almost OK, it's not a freeze and the user can safely remove the
 faulty layer and fix CRS settings. However the error message does not show
 up in the popup window.
