I'd argue that these are real bugs that the compiler happens to have
caught, and that the patch should perhaps be framed as fixing them rather
than as avoiding compilation failures, but that might be unnecessarily
nit-picky and I don't feel strongly about it.

I'm a bit surprised this ever successfully compiled. What version of clang
did you have to upgrade to in order to see this error? IIRC I've used
-Wsometimes-uninitialized on much older versions of clang.

Anyways, looks good to me.
