I'm glad we've got the test recorded here/demonstrating the failure -
you're right that it's a bit brittle (though I suspect not /too/ bad).

If I were in your shoes I'd probably commit the test (I'd check if the -O2
is necessary and/or figure out what specific flags llc needs to reproduce
the issue (& apply any other transformations ahead of time to the committed
.ll file)) but it's marginal - up to you whether you want to commit it or
not. It'll be here in the email history otherwise.

Thanks for your patience,
