Yeah, the fix and explanation sound fine to me, but the maple tree
code confuses me enough and has been subtle enough (as exemplified by
this bug and many others) that there's no way I'll apply this just
before the final 6.4 without some "Ack, that's obviously correct" from
Willy or Liam or somebody.
