I don't see where.

Yes, that case is known - but unless the folding result is sane we
drop it anyway.

Well, if we get back one we have canonicalize_cond_expr_cond to
make it sane again.

That's true and you promised to clean up remaining TRUTH_*
consumers / producers when doing the canonicalization to BIT_*.
At the moment they get back to BIT_* via force_gimple_operand*
which is probably even fine.

Well, I already said that one-bit-precision as truth_value is wrong.

Relying on fold-const.c here with its very strict type rules always
was a stretch.  If it turns out there are now cases that we want to
do differently then we finally have to bite the bullet and do it.
There's always two options - duplicate it properly in fold_stmt
(or forwprop in case it needs to lookup defs), or remove it from fold
and make sure we fold things using fold_stmt at gimplifcation time.
