plusWord2# is buggy

Looks like its behavior differs between optimization levels:

{-# LANGUAGE MagicHash, UnboxedTuples #-}

import GHC.Prim
import GHC.Word

big :: Word
big = maxBound

good = let x = case big of W# w -> w in case plusWord2# x x of (# a, b #) -> (W# a, W# b)

main = do
  putStrLn $ case good of
    (0, z) -> "Such optimal, much sad"
    (1, z) -> "No optimization here"

I thought I was going crazy! Try the above code with and without -O2 and you'll get different output.
