After spending the last couple of days pounding my head on my desk, I
managed to come up with a standalone test case that reproduces this
problem.  The source is still on the hefty side because of all the C++
template goo (but more than an order of magnitude smaller than when I
started) but the assembly code is fairly small.  If updated my PR with
the relevant info.
