Hmm, well the mismatch with http and https functions is still there.
The comments talk about some particular circumstances when
url-http-end-of-document-sentinel is called:

    (defun url-http-end-of-document-sentinel (proc why)
      ;; Sentinel used to handle (i) terminated old HTTP/0.9 connections,
      ;; and (ii) closed connection due to reusing a HTTP connection which
      ;; we believed was still alive, but which the server closed on us.
      ;; We handle case (ii) by calling `url-http' again.

Perhaps due to changes in servers and clients neither of those
conditions happens for you any longer.
