This should not be happening, unless some intermediate compiler pass
is lowering the ARRAY_REF (b[i]) to a plain INDIRECT_REF (* b+i) type
expression.  (If so, the instrumentation loses its limited awareness
of where the pointer value came from, and checks only that it refers
to *some* valid object.)  This sort of lowering transform should
likely be disabled in the -fmudflap case.  (It's possible that there
is a bug elsewhere instead.)
