Can you clarify this point?  AFAIK, LICM does not do store forwarding.  How did store forwarding come into the picture at all?

Also, if we ever discover two pointers mustalias, then by definition they must be the same alias set.  If not, we have constructed *invalid, and incorrect* alias sets.  Oh, I think I see the problem.  You're saying that they're both noalias and mustalias discovered through two different mechanism.  Ouch, ouch, ouch.
