The code will process Obj1, because it's still scalar replaceable, but will find that this object is stored in a field of a - **now** - NSR object. Therefore, correctly, Obj1 will also be marked as NSR. When Obj1 is marked as NSR Phi1 becomes irreducible because it doesn't have any more scalar replaceable input.
