Oh, I see, you have a store into a non-alloca region from a value loaded
from the alloca.

I think preserving the wide store is correct here as it represents strictly
more freedom in the optimizer. We should do store narrowing to remove bit
math in the backend (or late in the optimizer).

To see why we would want to use the wider store: consider when we actually
can eventually fold the loads together. Once we split up a store, we can in
many cases never fuse them back together. =/
