I was going to push but then Bilal asked me off-list if there was some
reason not to set the members of ReadBuffersOperation outside of
assert builds. I agree with him that it seems like a future user of
StartReadBuffersImpl() could make this same mistake. Both of us
vaguely recall this being done for performance reasons. Before
committing this test change, I wanted to confirm that we don't want to
modify the actual prod code the way he does in [1].
