Comment (by lerkok):

 @carter: Yes; I think @rwbarton is quite right in his analysis!

 @rwbarton: Thanks for nailing this one!

 I'd consider this a bug; but I'm not sure how important it is to reserve
 cycles. @simonpj can definitely make that call. Maybe it can be merged
 with @carter's ticket #9276, and addressed within that context.
