Yes, however, I never saw such case in (rather huge) real codes. I will add it.

Do we have any better way? It seems - no. We need to find the def of the
register which is closest to the insertion point. Even if some instruction
numbering would be saved after RA, then iterating of instructions seems to
be cheaper than iterating over defs of the phys reg.
