I believe these issues are one in the same. I did a reverse bisect with
Arnd's test case and converged on George's first patch:

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/2dd17ff08165e6118e70f00e22b2c36d2d4e0a9a

I think that in lieu of this patch, we should have that patch and its
follow-up fix merged into 10.0.1.

I can file an upstream PR for Tom to take a look out later tonight.

Cheers,
Nathan
