I ran my reproducer test with this one as well. As expected, since
the first patch fixed the issue I was seeing and I wasn't hitting
the assert here anyway, I didn't hit the assert.

But I also didn't hit any other issues, new or old. 

It makes sense to use the same logic flow here as enqueue_task_fair.
