This check is simply a sanity check that we've not got a bug elsewhere
in the code. If we're bug free, this condition should never trigger.
This is probably better thought of as being an assert(), except we don't
use assert() hence reporting an error.
We have certainly had bugs in the past where we didn't correctly cleanup
or unregister things, so I think the check is potentially useful.
