Ok, the issue was a bit more complex than I anticipated, but I think I 
managed to create a patch <https://reviews.llvm.org/D59991> that fixes 
that, as well as prevents something similar from happening in the future 
(for the curious, a there's a longer description of the problem in the 
patch).

Jan, David, this patch was enough to fix the test suite failures on the 
machine that I got access to, but I'd appreciate it if you could check 
that it also fixes things on your end.

thank you,
