Comment:

 I believe these are fixed by

 commit 9f68cceca364600e2ed8d8b4c9e2684eb83549fc

 This was a change in the old code generator that didn't get propagated to
 the new code generator. A difficult bug to find! I'm looking into the best
 place to put an `ASSERT()` to catch bugs of this kind earlier.
