I see.

   Please try to reproduce the problem with a modern gcc and file a bug
   report upstream - or let us know which newer version fixes it.

I tried gcc 4.7.2, and it also generates bad code.  It is probably a bug
in the vax port.

(I cannot report this to GCC, as they require me to create an account.
I will not.  They bug reports mailing list seem dead.)

   We are likely to upgrade gcc for all arches where it works to 4.7.x sometime
   soon.

Good that you keep up with GCC releases!
