What I've done so far was suggested to me in a previous thread on this list, but in short, I've got phases that add my own custom nodes to each LoadIndexedNode/StoreIndexedNode. These are then lowered to the desired behaviour via snippets:

This doesn't look right, having compiler nodes as parameter types of snippets. The value of a snippet parameter may come from a compiler node when the snippet is instantiated (during lowering) but the snippet sees the "raw" Java type of the value. Assuming ArrayLoadInfo is the type returned by node.getInfo(), you probably want something like this:
@Snippet
public static void load(ArrayLoadInfo info) {
Instrument.arrayLoads.add(info);
}

and replace the above with:
args.add("info", node.getInfo());
