OK, I'm going to revert the checkin... however, we still need to figure
out what the right answer here is, and why this broke (and why none of
my tests showed this failure...)

However, it is clear that the answer is more complex than we originally
anticipated. Mikael, would you be willing to run some experiments over
the near future?
