Yes, it is a global register variable.

But the compiler does not see that something else changes local_paca (or
r13 some other way, via assembler code perhaps)?  Or is there a compiler
bug?

If the latter is true:

Can you make a reproducer and open a GCC PR?  <https://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/>
for how to get started doing that.  We need *exact* code that shows the
problem, together with a compiler command line.  So that we can
reproduce the problem.  That is step 0 in figuring out what is going on,
and then maybe fixing the problem :-)
