Why _mm256_load_pd compiled to MOVUPD instead of MOVAPD?

Question

Why the following code results unaligned AVX instructions ( MOVUPD instead of MOVAPD)? I compiled this on Visual Studio 2015. How can I tell the compiler that my data is indeed aligned?

    const size_t ALIGN_SIZE = 64;
    const size_t ARRAY_SIZE = 1024;

    double __declspec(align(ALIGN_SIZE)) a[ARRAY_SIZE];
    double __declspec(align(ALIGN_SIZE)) b[ARRAY_SIZE];

    //Calculate the dotproduct
    __m256d ymm0 = _mm256_set1_pd(0.0);
    for (int i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE; i += 8)
    {
        __m256d ymm1 = _mm256_load_pd(a + i); 
        __m256d ymm2 = _mm256_load_pd(b + i);
        __m256d ymm3 = _mm256_mul_pd(ymm1, ymm2);
        ymm0 = _mm256_add_pd(ymm3, ymm0);

        __m256d ymm4 = _mm256_load_pd(a + i + 4);
        __m256d ymm5 = _mm256_load_pd(b + i + 4);
        __m256d ymm6 = _mm256_mul_pd(ymm4, ymm5);
        ymm0 = _mm256_add_pd(ymm6, ymm0);
    }

There is the way to solve this problem (it allows to use instruction VMOVDQA (analogue of MOVAPD) instead of MOVUPD):

inline __m256d Load(const double * p)
{
#ifdef _MSC_VER
    return _mm256_castsi256_pd(_mm256_load_si256((__m256i*)p));
#else
    return _mm256_load_pd(p);
#endif
}

Analogous solution for float type:

inline __m256 Load(const float * p)
{
#ifdef _MSC_VER
    return _mm256_castsi256_ps(_mm256_load_si256((__m256i*)p));
#else
    return _mm256_load_ps(p);
#endif
}

But in order to cheat Visual Studio compiler you have to use dynamically allocated pointers. Otherwise compiler doesn't use VMOVDQA instruction.

#include <immintrin.h>

int main()
{
    float * ps = (float*)_mm_malloc(40, 32);
    double * pd = (double*)_mm_malloc(40, 32);

    __m256 s = Load(ps);
//00007FF79FF81325  vmovdqa     ymm1,ymmword ptr [rdi]  
    __m256d d = Load(pd);
//00007FF79FF8132F  vmovdqa     ymm0,ymmword ptr [rax]

    _mm256_storeu_ps(ps, s);
    _mm256_storeu_pd(pd, d);

    _mm_free(ps);
    _mm_free(pd);
}
