You're right, I misinterpreted an error. Details as below.

I did test on the Apple machine with only opp-microwatt, but I misinterpreted
the error. We end up here upon parsing the second OPP:

When this path is removed, things work as expected. Could it be that opp_list has
not been updated by the time we're parsing the next OPP? Seems unlikely, but
at the same time if we're ending up taking this branch then there's not much else
that could have gone wrong.
