--- Comment #14 from Aldy Hernandez <aldyh at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-02-04 20:16:07 UTC --- Yes, this is an improvement, because once has to figure out why the unadultered new operator is not handled specially by the alias oracle. You are welcome to file a PR as an enhancement request, but honestly I won't get to it anytime soon, because of the other critical problems with the toolchain.
