I took a look, and what I'm seeing suggests that commit 3decd150a2d
might possibly be relevant here (at least to explain why it breaks in 11
but not 10).

What's going on in eval_const_expressions_mutator is that
context->case_val is set when recursing into the elemexpr in the
ArrayCoerceExpr case, so when that sees a CaseTestExpr inside that, it
replaces it (incorrectly).
