I don't know if it even compiles.  And I haven't written the 32-bit code yet.

I think this comment is missing a "not" somewhere.

I think it's correct. If child1 isn't matched then we must prevent CSE of GetPropertyStorage from working in case our child1 and their child1 was the same object but we didn't know it at compile time.

How about this:

// If we can cheaply prove this is a change to our object's storage, we can optimize and use its result.
if (node.child1() == child1)
    return index;

// Otherwise, this still *might* change our object's storage, and we don't know what it changes to.
return NoNode;

That's slightly better though the second comment is likely clearer (and more inline with aliasing terminology) as: "Otherwise, we currently can't prove that this doesn't change our object's storage, so we conservatively assume that it may change the storage pointer of any object, including ours."
