Yeah, I agree with you. This's still not a very general method to fix this issue here. But I think it's a good place to discuss a more robust way to fix this issue here.
The root cause of this issue is that the tracker will invalidate L2 rather than L1 in tracker when we reach L4. When we reach L2, the current mechanism in **ForwardCopyPropagateBlock** will not remove L1 in tracker anyway, so if we unrelated L1 and L2, I think we could remove the **record of def** in tracker to fix this problem.
