Julia: `===` comparison changes behaviour in local scope

[nilshg]

This came up on Slack and I've subsequently posted on Discourse here. An MWE would be the following:

a = "a"
@show a === "a" # true
for _ in 1:1
    @show a === "a" # false
    @show a .=== "a" # true
end

and similarly:

f() = a === "a" # false

Output of versioninfo():

Just a quick check to show that it's a bug in emit_f_is

julia> a = "a"
"a"

julia> f() = a === "a" # false
f (generic function with 1 method)

julia> @code_llvm f()

;  @ REPL[2]:1 within `f'
define i8 @julia_f_12276() #0 {
top:
  %0 = load %jl_value_t addrspace(10)*, %jl_value_t addrspace(10)** inttoptr (i64 4557995032 to %jl_value_t addrspace(10)**), align 8
  %1 = addrspacecast %jl_value_t addrspace(10)* %0 to %jl_value_t addrspace(11)*
  %2 = icmp eq %jl_value_t addrspace(11)* %1, addrspacecast (%jl_value_t* inttoptr (i64 4578598160 to %jl_value_t*) to %jl_value_t addrspace(11)*)
  %3 = zext i1 %2 to i8
  ret i8 %3
}

I'll push a fix shortly.
