Indeed the extended inlining might cause more detection of an issue like this.
Just disabling that warning for ICE will not make it worse, although unless that
detection is a false positive if there is a real fix to it avoiding
the dangerous
situation that would be even better.

For now I have queued the patch for 19.11.12
