Comment:

 We know there are several problems with the current way that arity is
 calculated too early, and we plan to refactor things so that arity is
 calculated after CorePrep instead, which would fix this bug.

 Hence I don't think there's much to be gained by keeping the ticket open.
 It's unlikely we'll want to fix this bug in isolation.
