Quite right. Sorry for the noise!

It doesn't happen much in-tree, but the pass manager supports running multiple modules through a single pass instance, and it is conceivable that they would have different TTI wrapper passes. Not likely, and not practically reproducible, but the pattern is designed to handle cases where the analysis might not be valid to cache from run to run.
