So I looked at filing a bug with GCC, and one thing that helps it get looked at is sample code
to trigger the problem. I'm not even seeing a GCC 9 release, so I am assuming it's in a dev
mode? 

Since you have it running could you see if you can re-produce the error in a snippet and file the bug?

I would also diff the object file with -frwapv to see if it is producing different code for that loop.
