I'm sure you can find 100's of examples like that when using inline. So yes, it's obviously a missed optimisation, but an x86 peephole optimisation to remove those two instructions is "dweilen met de kraan open" (mopping up water while leaving the tap running), and (as far as I'm concerned) a waste of time since exactly the same happens on all architectures as well (except for possibly those without flags).
Florian has some ideas about how to simplify the node tree so that they can be optimised better at that (higher) level, but that won't immediately solve this particular problem by itself (although it's a step in the right direction) and it won't be ready any time soon.
