Given that large parts of inst combine is restricted to instructions which have one use, getting rid of a use on the condition can help the effectiveness of the optimizer. Also, it allows the condition to potentially be deleted by instcombine rather than waiting for another pass.
I noticed this completely by accident in another test case. It's not anything that actually came from a real workload.
p.s. We should probably do the same thing for switch instructions.
