I think it wasn't a bug in the context of 3c605096d31, but it certainly Does 
become a bug with my patch, so thanks for catching that.

Actually I've earlier concluded that this line is not needed at all, and can 
lead to smaller code, and enable even more savings. But I'll leave that after 
the fix that needs to go to stable.
