I cannot reproduce this. Maybe the surrounding code in your case caused what you describe, but if I take a valid C function and insert if (whatever == -1) into it, then after typing RET, the next line will be indented as expected.

we can now "redump" Emacs
Hold your horses: there are still bugs in "redumped" Emacs, so it is too early to announce a victory and make it sound like everyone can now use this without fear. It will take some non-trivial development work to clean this up, as there are many problems that need to be found and fixed before this becomes a reliable feature.
Thanks to Andreas
His name is Andrea, not Andreas.
It's a known bug which will be fixed in Emacs 29.2.
Famous last words.
Seriously, though: RAM is cheap until you find your system filling all the RAM, and the OOM killer kicks in. then you will treasure every single byte of memory you can avoid using.
