Comment (by nomeata):

 Hmm. Not so easy. Given that problematic code, i.e.

 {{{
 $s$wwwMe_s49K :: Int -> Int -> GHC.Prim.Int# -> (# Int, Int #)
 [LclId, Arity=3, Str=DmdType ]
 $s$wwwMe_s49K =
   \ (sc_s49I :: Int) (sc_s49J :: Int) (sc_s49H :: GHC.Prim.Int#) ->
     case sc_s49H of ds_X1WV {
       __DEFAULT -> $wwwMe_s48A (GHC.Prim.-# ds_X1WV 1#) lvl_s1Z6;
       0# ->
         case foo @ Int @ Int (sc_s49I, sc_s49J)
         of _ [Occ=Dead] { GHC.Types.I# ipv_s1XV [Dmd=] ->
         let {
           b_s1Z1 [Dmd=] :: Int
           [LclId, Str=DmdType]
           b_s1Z1 = sc_s49J } in
         let {
           a_s1Z0 [Dmd=] :: Int
           [LclId, Str=DmdType]
           a_s1Z0 = sc_s49I } in
         (# GHC.Num.$fNumInt_$c+ b_s1Z1 a_s1Z0,
            GHC.Num.$fNumInt_$c+ a_s1Z0 b_s1Z1 #)
         }
     }
 }}}

 it seems that the `used-once` information is not attached to the
 occurrence of `sc_s49J`, but only to the function `$s$wwwMe_s49J` that
 binds it. This is confirmed by a `pprTrace` of the `idDemandInfo` in
 `exprIsTrivial`:
 {{{
 exprIsTrivial sc_s49J 
 }}}
