Yeap, I see no drawbacks in that patch, imm field is declared as s32,
so it would be correctly sign extended by compiler before cast to u64,
so there is no need for additional casts.
It would be wrong if I submit the fix, because you've done all the work.
Here is a refined test-case to be placed in verifier/bpf_st_mem.c
(be careful with \t, test_verifier uses those as glob marks inside errstr).

{
"BPF_ST_MEM stack imm sign",
/* Check if verifier correctly reasons about sign of an
* immediate spilled to stack by BPF_ST instruction.
*
* fp[-8] = -44;
* r0 = fp[-8];
* if r0 s< 0 goto ret0;
* r0 = -1;
* exit;
* ret0:
* r0 = 0;
* exit;
*/
.insns = {
BPF_ST_MEM(BPF_DW, BPF_REG_10, -8, -44),
BPF_LDX_MEM(BPF_DW, BPF_REG_0, BPF_REG_10, -8),
BPF_JMP_IMM(BPF_JSLT, BPF_REG_0, 0, 2),
BPF_MOV64_IMM(BPF_REG_0, -1),
BPF_EXIT_INSN(),
BPF_MOV64_IMM(BPF_REG_0, 0),
BPF_EXIT_INSN(),
},
/* Use prog type that requires return value in range [0, 1] */
.prog_type = BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_LOOKUP,
.expected_attach_type = BPF_SK_LOOKUP,
.result = VERBOSE_ACCEPT,

.errstr = "0: (7a) *(u64 *)(r10 -8) = -44 ; R10=fp0 fp-8_w=-44\
