Implementation issue with alignment

In #117 (closed), @tj-sun writes:

I'm trying to add alignment to ArrayBase, but I'm seeing some weird error for pyopencl backend: this line keeps getting "index out of range" error. I can replicate this on master branch locally too, but I'm not sure why it is not showing up in Travis.

It happens when both storage_shape and shape are None for a temporary variable. I tried to bypass that by adding:

if not storage_shape:
  new_temp_vars[temp_var.name] = temp_var.copy(storage_shape=storage_shape)
  continue

but that doesn't seem to be the expected behaviour for the test test_loopy.py:test_atomic_load.

Any suggestion on what I'm doing wrongly here?
