efriedma added a comment.

In LangRef "the result is undefined" essentially means "returns undef", like a load from uninitialized memory.  There isn't any reason we can't speculate a shift, as long as the result isn't actually used for anything.

I would guess that we're performing a transformation which assumes that "lshr i32 1, %n" returns either 1 or 0, which isn't correct for n >= 32.
