I am able to reproduce the problem, but for me disabling the
optimizations doesn't help. That said the problem is just another issue
with the "let's assume the target supports move between 32 and 64 bit
registers". At some point we should add a paragraph to tcg/README, to
define how handle 32 vs 64 bit registers and what the TCG targets should
expect. We had to add special code to handle that for sparc
(trunc_shr_i32 instruction), but also code to the optimizer to remember
about "garbage" high bits. I am not sure someone has a global view about
how all this code interacts.

In this precise case the problem seems to be related to the following code
in tcg/i386/tcg-target.c:

|         /* ??? We assume all operations have left us with register contents
|            that are zero extended.  So far this appears to be true.  If we
|            want to enforce this, we can either do an explicit zero-extension
|            here, or (if GUEST_BASE == 0, or a segment register is in use)
|            use the ADDR32 prefix.  For now, do nothing.  */
|         if (GUEST_BASE && guest_base_flags) {
|             seg = guest_base_flags;
|             offset = 0;
|         } else if (TCG_TARGET_REG_BITS == 64 && offset != GUEST_BASE) {
|             tcg_out_movi(s, TCG_TYPE_I64, TCG_REG_L1, GUEST_BASE);
|             tgen_arithr(s, ARITH_ADD + P_REXW, TCG_REG_L1, base);
|             base = TCG_REG_L1;
|             offset = 0;
|         }

I guess we are still in time for 2.4 to fix this, but in case it's not
possible we can apply your patch.
