^ The problematic goto should be replaced with an early return. (and
perhaps a comment that you can't jump over __cleanup variable
initialization).
Otherwise the compiler cannot put the cleanup in the destination basic
block; it would have to split the edges and have all the happy paths
go to a synthesized basic block that runs the cleanup, then jumps to
the original destination.
