The issue happens only in Release builds (RelWithDebInfo, too). From what I was able to see it is somewhere in `F->getPointerAlignment`. My assumption was that we cannot rely on the full properties of `F` to be set unless it is the declaration kind we expected (similar to checking if a something is a nullptr and then probing its members). Secondly the `isa` check is likely to be the less expensive check anyway.

I saw the issue yesterday and dug into it for a while. However, I decided to insert a "fix" before the release which is in few days since the `isa` seems to the faster check anyway.
