I'm sorry, I don't buy it yet, though I might've missed something in the
discussions: :)
After applying the patches in your series this literally is just (which
is hardly radical ;):

That's not a real problem. Any function that can fail and which consumes
a reference on success is assumed to not mutate the reference if it
fails anywhere. So I don't see that as an issue.
The problem here is that the current patch invites bugs and has already
produced one because fd_install() and fd_install_*() have the same
naming scheme but different behavior when dealing with references.
That's just not a good idea.
