\o/

You may also want to remove/edit the comment right before
handle_group_alt() now that fake jumps are gone.

Anyway, I walked through the patch (set) and I think it should work fine
(but I am not confident enough to give it Reviewed-by. My head spins :)).
I even like the change.

Also, 1/3 is a benefit on its own, so if nothing else, it could go in.
