It actually is stronger than that; we should never run it more than once,
and it would be a bug if we did so.  Which codepath tries to call *_std()
twice?

The standard calling sequence is:

 - start from an empty queue.

 - use diff_change() and diff_addremove() to populate the queue.

 - call diffcore_std(). if you need to use a non-standard chain of
   diffcore transformations, you _could_ call the diffcore_* routines that
   diffcore_std() calls, if you choose to, but as you found out, some of
   them are not idempotent operations, and shouldn't be called twice.

 - and finally call diffcore_flush().

Shouldn't this be a BUG() instead?

The trivial rewrite to use this macro is a good idea, but it probably
should be a separate patch.
