Unfortunately, we are deeply in the implementation-defined realm.
I have now filled an OpenMP spec issue to make it possible to
avoid/mitigate those issues as user: OpenMP Issue 2693.
Namely, a way to specify the used integer type/precision
and/or refine what the user can expect.

In any case, the following applies currently:

"The iterations of some number of associated loops can be
  collapsed into one larger iteration space that is called
  the logical iteration space. The particular integer type
  used to compute the iteration count for the collapsed
  loop is implementation defined."
(2.11.1 Canonical Loop Nest Form)

Hence, both is sensible – the current behavior of GCC
and the one you have proposed and implemented:

Regarding OpenACC, I think diff_type → expand_oacc_collapse_init,
expand_oacc_collapse_vars would be the equivalent. In the spec, either a
note similar to OpenMP is missing or I have just not found it.

I think that's fine for the OG10 branch for now. Another question is how
to handle it best on mainline, which is then also Jakub's call. And also
how the OpenMP issue will be resolved.

Can you add a comment to the two testcases that the internal variable,
used to calculate the iteration count, needs a higher precision than
(32bit) 'int'? Otherwise it is not obvious.
