I'm not sure how to use ECJ nightly/integration. For 'normal' builds against platform nightly/integration, everything still seems ok, even though EMF has updated. It appears that the ECJ version is defined by Tycho, so the breakage presumably only occurs once a Tycho version > 4.0.8 is available and used to specify the ECJ for 4.33.
