Yeah, seems like everything is in order (no pun intended) after the main 
IR-level optimizer. This suggests that the reordering happens on the 
target-specific optimization or instruction selection level. I suppose 
you could try disabling codegen optimizations if you wanted to 
investigate this further.

This seems like a reasonable guess. Did you try asking on the LLVM IRC 
channel or mailing list? Depending on the outcome (i.e. if the ABI is 
really to be interpreted that way), we should probably discuss its 
implications for D's FP handling strategy on the main D mailing lists.

Best,
David
