That's a good point. I factored the lazy-loading out in basically the
same way that you did below, but didn't move this call out of
'load_bloom_filter_from_graph'. I think that you're right that this is
better at the calling end (replacing the 'start_index == end_index'
check with a '!filter->len' one instead).

I'm going to "ignore" this patch below since I (a) already have it
locally, and (b) would rather just do this correctly the first time than
introduce and subsequently fix a performance regression.
