This is a sound transformation only if foo() returns poison when it is called with poison as an argument.

Then how do you interpret "poison has to propagate through calls"?

A typical analysis of a function will either see a call or the inlined body. If "call(poison)" cannot be assumed to be a poison, then a call effectively stops the propagation of a poison.
