Hmm. Strange. godbolt says that it happens with clang 17.0.1 (and
earlier) with a plain -O2.

It just doesn't happen for me. Either this got fixed already and my
17.0.6 has the fix, or there's some subtle flag that my test-case uses
(some config file - I just use "-O2" for local testing like the
godbolt page did).

But clearly godbolt does  think this happens with released clang versions too.
