These sound completely independent changes and as such, should be split
into two separate patches. As far as (1) is concerned, I'm not sure I
followed the previous thread regarding the change. So this does not
actually fix any observable behavior? It would be good for the commit
message to be clear on why this change is needed and what impact it has
on behavior.

For (2), could you please be more specific on "create problems"? I.e.,
describe what those problems are and how one would notice that in
practice (i.e., what kind of incorrect behavior this fixes)?
