Geh, BYREF_ALL strikes again. I'm at LCA currently, but I'd like to try
to revisit actually fixing the basic-block splitting in the plugin. This
was looked at before, but I need to dig up the thread.

If a fast fix is needed, I'm fine with disabling BYREF_ALL with KUNIT.
It's not optimal, but I feel it's on the BYREF_ALL code to solve this. :)
