Of course, there's probably some way to fix the breakage, but basically,
it's a non-trivial change messing with a "delicate" issue (meaning one
where we currently have an undocumented balance of behaviors accumulated
over the years, and we're not even aware of it).

Not at all!

> Maybe it sticks if I put a prominent comments why.

I suggest you add a test for it as well (ideally in a separate commit so
`git revert` won't remove the test).
