I believe this would be the case *with* AliasAnalysis. However, without AA, all stores to the same Value get chained, and only the last seen store is kept for future reference. Therefore, it could never be legal to skip a dependency to a store to same value, since there may be other stores chained below it that will not be checked.

I believe it is default for this target/cpu to not use AA, since when I debugged this test case, AAForDep was nullptr.
