But if your testcase doesn't have undefined behavior, CUDA language rules must somehow allow this particular builtin function to take undef variables as input.  (Is this documented somewhere?)

I concur, especially on the last part. So far I have not seen why this is tied in any way to convergent. It might be a shfl oddity in which case the proper solution is to `freeze` all shuffle arguments in clang.
