OK, I'll try to make a test case to hit this first.

I've also noticed that there's a WebGL 2.0 conformance test that assumes 
similar loop induction variable indexing even though this was removed in 
GLSL ES 3.0, I've filed a bug to Khronos to discuss if the test could be 
removed or the test should be modified to use GLSL ES 1.0.
