Hmm. 
If you do a voltage get on a stub regulator it will return an
error (IIRC).

So I am unconvinced this actually makes any real difference?

What am I missing?

That is as likely as not a deferred probe so it should not be
as noisy as this.  It may happen during a normal boot process a lot
of times.
