Thanks for confirming my thoughts. Shall I still file a bugreport for this?

Somewhat related, I tried to do the following in inline assembly:
  mov [rax+rcx*type integer], edx
Unfortunately this does not work, although the explicit version
(mov [rax+rcx*4], edx works) is ok. Should I file a bug about this too?
