I believe this should not happen but it's hard to say without looking at a complete dump. Could 
you post full Cmm dump + a minimial working example that generates that?

Cmm program is represented as a graph with each node (a block of code) having explicit list of 
successors. Having fall-throughs in Cmm would require storing blocks linearily with a guarantee 
that their order will not change. Note that fall-throughs are present in the generated assembly.
