Don't include noise like this in upstream submissions.

This doesn't make much sense and is going to be very fragile.  We
should either make the dummy component look like other components or
make the code cope with them as they stand, that way we don't have
random undocumented special cases scattered through the code.  Probably
it's better to make the dummy component look like others.
