Mea culpa, you're absolutely right. I got that impression from debugging
it with gdb which gets it wrong as does objdump:
100004b4: 90 1f 00 30 stw r0,48(r31)
100004b8: 81 3f 00 30 lwz r9,48(r31)
100004bc: 7c 00 48 ce lvx v0,r0,r9
100004c0: 38 00 00 38 li r0,56
The AltiVec PIM does not mention it at all but the PEM does.
