this seems like it should be fine, but a quick check[1] makes me think
that it's passing when it should not.  My flexible test boxes are tied up
right now; the fix hit v3.10 (dunno about stable) so we should make sure
this fails on v3.9 before & after your, I guess.

I can try to get to it, or if you do first, let me now :)
