Yes, because tmp1 escapes in your example.

Since it's really hard to work around this, I've added a new
optimization which eliminates escaping temporaries for many cases.
I've just pushed it to git HEAD -- please try again.

Haven't gotten around to run your other example, but it looks like
it's the same problem. Try again with git HEAD and let me know if
it still happens.
