Yes, it's like a fairly rare occurrence, where a command does both:
- modify some buffer(s)
- exit a recursive edit
So maybe we can live without paying attention to it.

No, let-bind the var to nil around each recursive edit should take care
of "everything" so you don't need to change anything else (including,
non need to pay any attention to the recursion depth).

That's right.  A call to `specbind' at the right spot might even be all
it takes.
