That looks like an unintended side-effect of CheckAggExprForMemSetUse: it's supposed to check how much of the initialization is non-zero, but it's assuming all padding needs to be zeroed. Which we weren't explicitly doing before, but I guess it's convenient here. And given nobody has filed a bug report for this (I think?), it doesn't seem this memset is causing significant issues for anyone.
