This looks like a combine problem:

(insn 8 6 9 2 (set (reg/f:SI 59 [ D.1705 ])
        (subreg/s/u:SI (reg:DI 60) 0)) pr52838.c:6 64 {*movsi_internal}
     (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:DI 60)
        (nil)))

(insn 9 8 10 2 (set (reg/f:DI 62 [ D.1705 ])
        (zero_extend:DI (reg/f:SI 59 [ D.1705 ]))) pr52838.c:6 112
{*zero_extendsidi2_rex64}
     (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg/f:SI 59 [ D.1705 ])
        (nil)))

This gets transformed by combine pass:


Trying 8 -> 9:
Successfully matched this instruction:
(set (reg/f:DI 62 [ D.1705 ])
    (reg:DI 60))
deferring deletion of insn with uid = 8.
modifying insn i3     9 r62:DI=r60:DI
      REG_DEAD: r60:DI

into:

(note 8 6 9 2 NOTE_INSN_DELETED)

(insn 9 8 10 2 (set (reg/f:DI 62 [ D.1705 ])
        (reg:DI 60)) pr52838.c:6 62 {*movdi_internal_rex64}
     (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:DI 60)
        (nil)))

But, but ... high 32 bits are not cleared anymore!

Confirmed as a rtl optimization issue, adding CCs for their opinion.
