I think the BIT_FIELD_REF should be properly folded to a constant or
the propagation
not done.  fold_stmt_inplace is the candidate to look at,
propagate_rhs_into_lhs in
tree-ssa-dom.c to reject propagation into BIT_FIELD_REF.  fold_ternary should be
able to fold the BIT_FIELD_REF in question, it would be interesting to
know why it
doesn't.
