I looks like this .DEFERRED_INIT initializes an already initialized
variable.  I'd expect to only ever see default definition SSA names
as first argument to .DEFERRED_INIT.

I think you have to trace where this "bogus" .DEFERRED_INIT comes from 
originally.  Or alternatively, if this is unavoidable, add "constant 
folding" of .DEFERRED_INIT so that defered init of an initialized
object becomes the object itself, thus retain the previous - eventually
partial - initialization only.
