Errr, wait a minute, that's not a loop.  My bad.

We're failing to thread 4->5->xxx because:

Checking profitability of path (backwards):  bb:5 (10 insns) bb:4
  Control statement insns: 2
  Overall: 8 insns
  FAIL: Did not thread around loop and would copy too many statements.

which is a limitation of the backward threader copier:

  /* The generic copier used by the backthreader does not re-use an
     existing threading path to reduce code duplication.  So for that
     case, drastically reduce the number of statements we are allowed
     to copy.  */
  if (!(threaded_through_latch && threaded_multiway_branch)
      && (n_insns * param_fsm_scale_path_stmts
          >= param_max_jump_thread_duplication_stmts))
    {
      if (dump_file && (dump_flags & TDF_DETAILS))
        fprintf (dump_file,
                 "  FAIL: Did not thread around loop and would copy too "
                 "many statements.\n");
      return false;
    }

Confirmed.
