You're right, and the commit message claims the opposite. Its last
sentence should read:

  Arrays only ever read their own blocks, so a mismatch means the block is
  not one this array wrote: a crafted image, or a lost write leaving a
  stale block that was freed as a hint block.

Mikulas, that is a message-only change -- fold it in when applying if you
agree.
