I'm not really sure we'd end up generating bad code. I don't recall
having seen any situation in which we'd generate bad code because of
missing sign-extension in CONST_INTs, but it may be that I just didn't
search enough. But NOT installing the strict checking patches in the
branch will certainly reduce the overall risk.
