Research direction

Start by reproducing the wasm-opt behavior with the attached binary-trees.zip file and note the exact failure. Then inspect how the wasm module's name section, including label names with id 3, is handled; completion should be wasm-opt correctly processing the generated module from the wat crate.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I get this when running wasm-opt on the attached .wasm file

binary-trees.zip

It was generated with the wat crate.
