New GCC 7 -Wformat-truncation suppressed by (and only by) -Og?

At least with a recent GCC 7 trunk build ("gcc (GCC) 7.0.1 20170221
(experimental)"), I noticed that -Wformat-truncation warnings happen to
not be emitted if and only if -Og is given:
> $ cat test.c
> #include <stdio.h>
> int main() {
> char buf[3];
> snprintf(buf, sizeof buf, "%s", "foo");
> return 0;
> }
> $ gcc -Wformat-truncation -Og ~/test.c
> $ gcc -Wformat-truncation -O ~/test.c
> test.c: In function âmainâ:
> test.c:4:34: warning: âsnprintfâ output truncated before the last format character [-Wformat-truncation=]
> snprintf(buf, sizeof buf, "%s", "foo");
> ^
> test.c:4:5: note: âsnprintfâ output 4 bytes into a destination of size 3
> snprintf(buf, sizeof buf, "%s", "foo");
> ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any other optimization level (-O1..3/s/fast) does emit the warning. The
documentation makes it clear that the behavior of that warning may be
coupled to the optimization level, but this difference between -Og and
everything else still looks somewhat odd. Could it be by mistake?
