This wasn't an issue before because && and || didn't actually use those expressions to compute their value, but it's still incorrect.

Yes.

Sorry for the blast of information. If you want an easier place to start playing with the analyzer, you could try hacking on productizing SimpleStreamChecker. (And if you haven't watched our talk from last year's LLVM dev meeting, I definitely suggest taking the time to do so. It's aimed at checker writers, but still describes the general structure of the analyzer. It's linked near the top of http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/checker_dev_manual.html)
