cleanup_cfg only frees it in some cases if it does some kind of changes:
  /* ???  We probably do this way too often.  */
  if (current_loops
      && (changed
          || (mode & CLEANUP_CFG_CHANGED)))
    {
...
      calculate_dominance_info (CDI_DOMINATORS);
But here the dominator info gets out of sync earlier, in particular on this
testcase in the
  new_direct_jump_p |= purge_all_dead_edges ();
call.

Perhaps ideally we should teach all these functions to update the dominator
info, but I'm afraid it is a lot of work.
