Comment(by simonpj):

 Yes the extra call patterns take up RTS code space, but that's an
 extremely minor matter -- and they do a good job for under and over-
 saturated calls as well as exactly-saturated ones.

 I'm all for your fix in addition, for the case where there is no RTS
 pattern.

 Simon
