Needs a release ack if this is to be for 4.5, Konrad CCd.

On the one hand this fixes an issue which is only present if you enable
debug/verify mode, so it's not that critical. On the other hand it only
touches code which is used if you enable debug/verify mode, so it's not
that risky.

I'm inclined towards the apply it for 4.5 end of the scale...
