Summary

As far as I can tell the earlier call getLimitedValue will guaranteed ShiftAmt is saturated to BitWidth-1 preventing it from ever being equal or greater than BitWidth.

At one point in the past the getLimitedValue call was only passed BitWidth not BitWidth - 1. This would have allowed the equality case to get here. And in fact this check was initially added as just BitWidth == ShiftAmt, but was changed shortly after to include > which should have never been possible.
