Except it cannot tell sorry, this is exactly the same issue as the bogus
warning for the function given in comment #3.  To really tell array overflows,
you really need to emitt bounds checking.

I think this warning should never have ended in VRP, as shown you can get many
many bogus warnings.  So really I think it might be best to remove the warning
and have the C/C++ front-end emits bounds checking when ARRAY_REF and the size
is known (for -fbounds-checking).
