Please note that bootstrap worked on alpha*EV6*, not plain alpha.
Plain alpha is !BWX architecture and uses {un,}aligned_memory_operand
predicates that call resolve_reload_operand function. Unfortunately,
this function peeks deep into reload internals (reg_equiv_memory_loc)
that has no equivalent in LRA. As said in the comment, this internal
function resolves what reload is going to do with OP if it is a
register.
