At least FSM threading should be done before loop opts when it introduces sub-loops (but not when it creates irreducible regions). Otherwise I agree that jump threading should try very hard to not disrupt loops before loop optimizations but after those it can (and should) go wild. Yes, we have RTL loop optimizations, but ...
