We only end up in this case if we inserted into the array (i.e., the pointer is not explicitly marked `dead_on_return`) but is marked `dead_on_unwind`. For objects marked dead_on_return the underlying object will always be explicitly marked, so we will never insert at this point anyways. If they're not marked dead_on_return, we get the same behavior.

We also do not want to potentially insert true into `InvisibleToCallerAfterRet` because then we would not be looking at bounds information when we should be.

Also realizing now after looking at this we do not want to be inserting into `InvisibleToCallerAfterRet` at all before we check for bounded dead_on_return annotations because otherwise we might erroneously report false if we have two stores at the end of a function to the same underlying object. Fixed + regression test added.
