I made the attached quick-hack patch, and found that check-world
passes just fine with it. That's not complete proof that we have
no other bugs of this ilk, but it definitely supports the idea
that we don't really need to add the overhead. I'll just put this
in the archives for possible future reference.

(Or perhaps Andreas would like to try bashing on a copy with this
installed.)
