I understood what you've reported; I just find it hard to
believe. Without an example, I can't do anything about it.

That's what I meant: gcc-bugs is a list for reporting bugs, not for
asking whether bugs had been reported before, or whether they are
"known". Please have a look at the section "Reporting Bugs" of the GCC
manual. In general, the answer to a question "has this strange
phenomenon been observed before" must be "we have no idea", because
producing wild guesses what the cause could be is not very productive.

It may be an error in your code, it may be an error in gcc, or it may
be that you did not observe what you thought you've observed. *That*
problem has been seen in the past very often: People often report a
bug and then find out that they were mis-interpreting the facts, and
took their mis-interpretations for a fact.

I'm not saying that this is your problem, I just wanted to point out
that you probably won't get more insight into the problem without
posting some source code, or analyzing the problem yourself more
deeply.
