In the failing test, when the compiler tries to inline a `jdk.internal.vm.vector.VectorSupport::binaryOp` call, it fails because its argument is of the wrong type, mainly because some cast nodes “hide” the more “precise” type.

Would it be better to trigger cleanup based on the presence of nodes like CastPP/CheckCastPP instead?
