I simplified it further, attached. The interesting thing is that this
bug shows up only when destroyed is a bitfield. For example:

unsigned char destroyed; -> ok
unsigned int destroyed; -> ok
unsigned int destroyed:1; -> fail
unsigned int destroyed:8; -> fail
unsigned int destroyed:31; -> fail
unsigned int destroyed:32; -> ok

This feels like a compiler bug to me. Any ideas where this could be
reported to? :)

Possibly.
