The bisect isn't quite interesting here as we're trying to find the real
root ause.

045065d8a300a37218c548e9aa7becd581c6a0e8 reverts the polarity of the
check that 71e75c97f97a9645d25fbf3d8e4165a558f18747 incorrectly
chaged.

The behavior you see doesn't make a lot of sense from a high level view,
so we need to find out what's going on.

When you say all commits before 045065d8a300a37218c548e9aa7becd581c6a0e8
I wonder if the bisect simply skiped to many revisions.

Please explicitly test commits:

71e75c97f97a9645d25fbf3d8e4165a558f18747

and

74665016086615bbaa3fa6f83af410a0a4e029ee

Thanks!
