I'm not understanding all of the details of the behavior you're 
describing, but I agree that the %13 load should be a use of %scevgep25 
and that the select is a use of %14 and %15.

How are you iterating over the uses of %scevgep25?  Are you removing or 
inserting instructions while iterating over the uses, thereby 
potentially invalidating the use_iterator?  Invalidating the 
use_iterator would be my first guess.
