EH edges are abnormal and can be critical.  You can add insns to them,
if you update split_edge. (ie teoretically it is possible, but our
current framework can't deal with these)
It can be good idea to add code for that, as GCSE would be much happier
then too.

I think that EH kills registers anyway, so this is not problem.

I think problem is different.  The call with live register over is
noreturn, so there should really be no register alive at first place.
Hope I will find time to investigate this more at evening.
