I was able to move it over to InstCombine w/o touching any other aspect of SROA. It simplifies the model of SROA a bit, and also the optimization works much better in the instcombine framework: this is about nuking one instruction, and replacing it with another.

Makes sense to me.  Can pointsToConstantGlobal be simplified with Value::stripInBoundsOffsets ?
