Thanks. After staring at this a bit, I noticed there is an even more subtle issue with the case you touched back then, which is that it fails to notice when a think we expect to be a blob isn't one. Your old patch didn't make anything worse there, but it also wasn't sufficient to catch the problem. See patch 2 for details. I'm adding Taylor to the cc as the author of t6102, when we were tracking down all of these "oops, it's not really a blob" cases. This fixes one of the lingering cases from that test script.
