Attached is v4. This is almost the same as v3. The only notable change
is in how the issue is explained in comments, and in the commit
message.

I have revised my opinion on this question once more. In light of what
has come to light about the issue from recent testing, I lean towards
a HEAD-only commit once again. What do you think?

I still hope to be able to commit this on my original timeline (on
Monday or so), without the issue taking up too much more of
everybody's time.

Thanks
