Comment(by thoughtpolice):

 The CMM produced for ```PrimOps.cmm` in this case looks like this:

 {{{
 stg_retryzh() //  []
          { info_tbl: []
            stack_info: arg_space: 0 updfr_space: Nothing
          }
      {offset
        ...
        ...
        ccg:
            (_ccl::I64) = call "ccall" ... stmStartTransaction(BaseReg -
 24, _ccm::I64);
            I64[CurrentTSO + 8 + 72] = _ccl::I64;
            Sp = _cck::I64;
            R1 = I64[_cck::I64 + 8 + 0];
            call stg_ap_v_fast(R1) args: 8, res: 0, upd: 8;
      }
 }}}

 So it looks like the store to `Sp` is introducing the zero-extended one &
 store, but I'm still looking as to why.
