Loading at byte type cannot freeze. The entire point of the byte type is that it loads the underlying raw memory contents without changing them in any way.
I think the problem you are having is that LLVM does not have a coherent semantics (yet) so of course you can't implement one. That's one reason why having an interpreter like llubi is great: it can uncover issues of this sort. This particular issue is one we already knew about, but maybe there are more. :)
So anyway, you need to fundamentally decide whether the interpreter has undef or not. If it doesn't have undef, then uninit memory must be poison.
