Thanks for the corrections! LGTM. For patch 0005, I was initially
hesitant to add a new test module because it may seem somewhat heavy
just to test this issue. I ended up adding it after realizing that it
could also be reused to test another, as-yet-unreported issue.

I'm still wondering when it is appropriate to introduce a new test
module like this. I'm also not quite sure when a TAP test is warranted
instead of just providing a reproducer, since I spent a lot of time
designing this test. I'd like to hear your thoughts on them.

BTW, there are a few potential issues I've been investigating for a
while, but the fixes and constraints are still not entirely clear to
me, so I plan to send an off-list email about them later.
