Ah, so that's why the submitted patch had the test placed at an awkward
place in the file! I moved it to the end because I failed to realize
this problem. I didn't see this failure locally, and CI didn't see it
either. I wonder if we're lacking coverage of the no-injection-points
case in CI.

Thanks for the patch, please feel free to push it.
