I sure hope not. The reason for this change some DAG transformations require the presence of the unconditional branch following a conditional one so it can flip them. With this case, a lot of fcmp_oeq can be optimized to a pair of conditional branches, rather than two setcc and an and.

I've verified machine instruction passes will eliminate the branch to fallthrough. I wonder if we could disable branch folding and see if more miscompilations show up.
