Looking at this again, no, I think you've got it right.  My guess is
that I just mistook the NULL sensitivity check at the top of the loop
as getting triggered in this case, which isn't the case here.  Sorry
for the noise.

Nope.  I wouldn't even bother with that brace/comment changes, those
were minor nits and only worth changing if you needed to respin the
patch for some other reason.

Consider the patch merged, thanks!
