This is very strange and not what I see in my branch.

It's quite common for issues to occur when patches are taken
out-of-order. As I work with topic branches, my preference would
normally be to fix issues with the patch-set as a whole until Acks are
obtained for all of the patches, then either send a pull-request or to
have all of the patches taken from the MLs in order.
