Can you tell why it's restricted to the last full fold?

Please compat the comment, like to

This doesn't work reliably since pointer types are all equal in GIMPLE
so you could end up with a int * pointer here for which build_simple_mem_ref
would create an 'int' access.

You need to use sth like

    tree deref = fold_build2 (MEM_REF, char_type_node, ptr,
build_zero_cst (ptr_type_node));

And this should always be required.
