Second Update:

I ran findmisopt one more time and this time it found something:
-mem2reg -instcombine. I'm currently tracking down the misoptimization.
It seems to be a little too aggressive in eliminating setcc:

The branch condition should not become "bool false". It needs to test
for -1.  This unconditional branch causes the output difference.
