Confirmed.

It should be hard to implement this, but did you see this in real-world code
(to asses the importance of this optimization)?

Other cases would include (partially) overlapping memsets (or related
functions such as memory copying routines and the respective string variants).

We already optimize some cases (that appeared in GCC IIRC) in
tree-ssa-forwprop.c,
namely

/* *GSI_P is a GIMPLE_CALL to a builtin function.
   Optimize
   memcpy (p, "abcd", 4);
   memset (p + 4, ' ', 3);
   into
   memcpy (p, "abcd   ", 7);
   call if the latter can be stored by pieces during expansion.  */
