Sorry for redundancies, but I'd like to reiterate my question:
is this a bug in the parser (that should be fixed)?

I think that it would be simpler to deal with exact array accessors 
rather than pointer arithmetics in the optimizer.

A possible work-around solution is to work with byte offsets and expect the analyzer
to promote them into higher structures (arrays with array accessors) for those that 
are candidates for optimization.
