When nodes are reassociated the vector-reduction flag gets lost.
The test case is here is what would happen if you had a sum of absolute differences loop that started with a non-zero but contant sum and that loop was unrolled. The vectorizer will generate a constant vector for the initial value. And DAGCombiner reassociate tries to move it down the addition tree erasing the vector-reduction flag. Interestingly this moves constants the opposite direction of the reassociate IR pass.
I've chosen to just punt on the reassociate, but I suppose we could maybe preserve the flag if both nodes have it set.
