Well, maybe.
Or maybe the rules we picked were just too conservative.
-At this point, I ended up in a lengthy discussion with @eddyb and @arielb1, who both know approximately infinitely more about LLVM and rustc than I do, and this is how the third option in the list arose:

When performing `StorageLive` on a variable that already is live, forget the value that is currently in the local variable, but otherwise keep it live.
This is consistent with what we have caught LLVM doing.
It is hard to get any more definite than this.
The good news is that with this choice of MIR semantics, miri's test suite passes.
We can thus be sure (well, insofar as the test suite is representative -- this will hopefully get better over time) that rustc produces code that follows our new rules.

So, what did we learn?
