Indeed the coalesced registers may logically not be queried since they
do not appear in any operand list of the machine code, but the
VarInfo::DefInst in VirtRegInfo of the _representive register_ is
_not_ correct (I could trace the code at the time of writing this
mail).

In the other words, the patch not only have to remove the VarInfo
record in VirtRegInfo, but also have to update the record for
_representive register_.
