Comment (by lukemaurer):

 Looks to me like Simon's instinct was correct. Every instance of `$j1`
 remains a join point now, since those pesky contexts that were getting put
 around the calls are getting put into `$j1` instead.

 In fact, `k-nucleotide` is one of the poster children for join points—it
 gets an 86.0% decrease in allocs.
