[llvm-dev] @llvm.memcpy not honoring volatile?

The following IR with the volatile parameter set to true
> call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i64(i8* align 1 %0, i8* align 1 %1, i64
7, i1 true)

generates the following asm:
> movl    (%rsi), %eax
> movl    3(%rsi), %ecx
> movl    %ecx, 3(%rdi)
> movl    %eax, (%rdi)

It performs an overlapping read/write which - I believe - is violating the
volatile semantic
Full example here: https://godbolt.org/z/P_rjBT

Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding volatile in this context?
