This situation can happen if a subsequent invocation of the same method causes all inputs to the phi to be NSR; therefore there is no point in reducing the Phi. It can also happen during the propagation of NSR state done by `find_scalar_replaceable_allocs`.

Could we make the catch exception matching more precise? I'd just like to avoid a case where we miscompile and throw the wrong exception and that gets caught silently.
