Annoyingly, this is similar to another bug I had fixed in another
iterator across VMAs.  It's the same pattern and I did go back to see if
I had broken other places but, obviously, I missed this one.

It's annoying enough that I'm trying to figure out a better way to do
this in general.. A contiguous iterator of sorts.  I will add this to my
maple tree work list [1].
