cfallin opened PR #2564 from load-coalesce-bug to main:

A branch is considered side-effecting and so updates the instruction
color (which is our way of computing how far instructions can sink).
However, in the lowering loop, we did not update current instruction
color when scanning backward across branches, which are side-effecting.
As a result, the color was stale and fewer load-op merges were permitted
than are actually possible.

Note that this would not have resulted in any correctness issues, as the
stale color is too high (so no merges are permitted that should have
been disallowed).

Fixes #2562.

doc suggestion: it might be useful to tell the reader where to look for branch lowering. It doesn't need to be too specific to be robust against refactoring but I could use a helpful hint to get me looking in the right place.
