in compute_pre_data, we do this:

  /* Collect expressions which might trap.  */
   trapping_expr = sbitmap_alloc (expr_hash_table.n_elems);
   sbitmap_zero (trapping_expr);
   for (ui = 0; ui < expr_hash_table.size; ui++)
     {
       struct expr *e;
       for (e = expr_hash_table.table[ui]; e != NULL; e = 
e->next_same_hash)
   if (may_trap_p (e->expr))
     SET_BIT (trapping_expr, e->bitmap_index);
     }

   /* Compute ae_kill for each basic block using:

      ~(TRANSP | COMP)
   */

   FOR_EACH_BB (bb)
     {
       edge e;

       /* If the current block is the destination of an abnormal edge, we
    kill all trapping expressions because we won't be able to properly
    place the instruction on the edge.  So make them neither
    anticipatable nor transparent.  This is fairly conservative.  */
       for (e = bb->pred; e ; e = e->pred_next)
   if (e->flags & EDGE_ABNORMAL)
     {
       sbitmap_difference (antloc[bb->index], antloc[bb->index], 
trapping_expr);
       sbitmap_difference (transp[bb->index], transp[bb->index], 
trapping_expr);
       break;
     }

... <the few lines here aren't necessary for store motion>
     }



This causes trapping expressions to be not transparent/antic in blocks 
whose predecessors are abnormal.
For store motion, you need to do the same, except they can't be 
transparent/antic in blocks whose successor edges are abnormal edges.
This will prevent it from pushing stores down across abnormal edges.
For store motion, it would be st_antloc. and you'll have to walk the 
stores list using first_ls_expr/next_ls_expr to find the trapping 
expressions, rather than the hash table.
