I was thinking about filing an upstream bug, but this comment is
interesting (not the bug itself, since the specific problem there is
different):

https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/issues/10014#issuecomment-725270460

Some things we could take away from this:

(1) It's expected.

(2) They're not going to fix it as they're working on an even newer
optimizer.

(3) You can add -Oclassic to affected files to get the regular
optimizer.  [This isn't exactly what the option does, but using it
does fix the issue.]

My proposed fix / workaround:
