Practically all of the occurrences of set_src_cost in combine.c can be
called on whole insns. By "whole insn" I mean of course the right
hand side of a set, or a single set inside a parallel. I'm not saying
that this causes trouble, since I haven't seen a register move there
(but I haven't looked very hard either).
