It's also not new.  The same problem existed before, I just tried to explain it a bit better now.

That said, since the eventual goal is to get rid of the static initializers as the means of registering classes, the long-term solution will be to have an InitializeLLVMPasses() method (or something similar) that takes a PassRegistry and registers all the core passes with it.  Then, if you later destruct that PassRegistry and create a new one, you can just call InitializeLLVMPasses() on it, in turn, and you will have successfully resurrected the registration.
