Looking into it, I'm not sure it is.  Compiling with -O3 I get:

ipa-inline-analysis.c: In function ‘inline_read_summary’:
ipa-inline-analysis.c:531:22: warning: ‘out.clause[8]’ may be used 
uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
ipa-inline-analysis.c:2294:20: note: ‘out.clause[8]’ was declared here
...

531:      *es->predicate = *predicate;

This is clearly copying all fields and array members, even the
uninitialized ones.  However, like padding copied while copying structs,
I'm not sure that's a problem if the copied members are not accessed.
However, it is absolutely correct that we are copying uninitialized data
members.
