I *think* I've seen it happen - but it has been a while since I've been
spelunking in this technology and it may be that I've either misremembered
or jumped to an incorrect conclusion.  But it seems implausible: SEH can
arise from fetch or store which are often resequenced - so this would
restrict the available optimisations.

Anyway, I've never seen any MS documentation that would support this belief.
(And a quick search of MSDN doesn't return any promising hits.)  Do you have
a reference?

Yes.
