Unspec on the left-hand-side isn't something that's supposed to happen, 
and is more than likely the cause of your problems.  Try moving the 
unspec to the right-hand-side like:

   (set (reg:SI reg) (mem:SI addr))

   (set (reg:SA reg)
        (unspec:SA [(reg:SI reg) (mem:QI addr)]
                   UNSPEC_ACCUM_INSERT))

and

   (set (mem:SI addr) (reg:SI reg))

   (set (mem:QI addr)
        (unspec:QI [(reg:SA reg)]
                   UNSPEC_ACCUM_EXTRACT))

Note that after reload it's perfectly acceptable for a hard register to 
appear with the different SI and SAmodes.

It's probably not too hard to define this with zero_extract sequences 
instead of unspecs, but given that these only appear after reload, it 
may not be worth the effort.
