The Override Call Type... UI command doesn't appear when HLIL has multiple calls in a single HLIL instruction #7983

Bug Description:
When a HLIL instruction (or line?) has multiple call expressions, the Override Call Type... UI command does not appear in the right-click menu. If there is just a single call in a HLIL instruction it works fine.
Expected Behavior:
The command should be able to handle when there are multiple calls in a single HLIL instruction. In the screenshot below I should be able to override the call type of both the outer and inner calls to objc_msgSend.
Screenshots/Video Recording:
Binary:
The screenshot comes from the function -[NSRTFD writePath:docInfo:errorHandler:remapContents:markBusy:hardLinkPath:] in the Foundation library for the DYLD Shared Cache for iOS 26.0 for an iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Additional Information:
This issue seems to have always existed, I just hadn't reported it until now. The workaround is simply to find the call in MLIL and apply the override that way. Its a bit of an inconvenience because I don't normally have HLIL and MLIL side by side (usually HLIL and disassembly) but it does work.
