It is correct in this case though unnecessary. Why load a value
twice?

My problem is that in a bigger application second used value
is incorrect and thus the application loads wrong data which
it processes and thus writes incorrect data back to the correct
place.

I merely tried to point out a potential problem and suboptimal
generated code. Fixing the latter will automatically fix the
problem, at least I believe so. For now I can fix it by sprinkling
casts and/or statifying the variables which will be less
efficient though.
