Here it is, "before" and "after" I applied some trivial "simplification":

/*
		for(i=0, j=(stkptrsize-stkzerosize)/widthptr*2; i<stkzerosize; i+=widthptr, j+=2)
			if(bvget(bv, j) || bvget(bv, j+1))
				p = appendp(p, AMOVL, D_CONST, 0, D_SP+D_INDIR, frame-stkzerosize+i);
*/
		i = 0;
		j = (stkptrsize-stkzerosize)/widthptr*2;
		while (i < stkzerosize) {
			int f = frame - stkzerosize + i;
			if(bvget(bv, j) || bvget(bv, j+1)) {
				p = appendp(p, AMOVL, D_CONST, 0, D_SP+D_INDIR, f);
			}
			i += widthptr;
			j += 2;
		}

around line 40 in $GOROOT/src/cmd/8g/ggen.c.

Thank you, Erik, for your invaluable input, it seems to work now.
