Albert,

You could do simple fix (--i) in original changes instead of adding new list. And actually you don't need to call 
remove() because it will be removed by calling replace_node(), see remove_globally_dead_node():


+   for (uint i = 0; i < _worklist.size(); i++) {
+     Node* n = _worklist.at(i);
+
+     if (n->is_ConstraintCast()) {
+       Node* nn = n->Identity(this);
+       if (nn != n) {
+         replace_node(n, nn);
+         --i;
+       }
+     }
+   }

Thanks,
Vladimir
