I indeed have to rethink this code as e.g. the loop can be executed if `n` is not a multi-node but `k` ends up pointing to a projection of another node. I will investigate and come back with a new revision.

You are right that users will follow `n` but I am not sure that no other nodes were inserted in between users.
I would prefer to see loop code like this:
  for (uint k = new_cnt; k > j; k-- ) {
    Node* user = sb->get_node(k);
    if (user->is_Proj() && user->in(0) == n) {
Or may be record user's indexes into a local array for users in previous loop at lines #1406-1412 and iterate of that loop.
I also noticed wrong code stile in `for()` statements near your change. Please, fix them too.
