... based on an incorrect hypothesis (that the path can be reached).
With an incorrect hypothesis, one can prove anything. So, I don't
think that would be a valid proof.

For instance, compiling the following code with -O2 -Warray-bounds -c
triggers the warning.

unsigned int f(unsigned int value)
{
  unsigned int i = (value & 0xffff);
  return (i == 0xffff ? 0xffffffff : i);
}

static int arr1[10];

void t(unsigned int s)
{
  if (s >> 1 == 0)
    {
      arr1[f(s)] = 0;
      arr1[f(s)] = 0;
    }
}
