Sad to be covering up this problem. We need to prioritize fixing the followup, since we now know what the design issue is.

Yeah I agree :(

I remember making a decision not to add these early-return in r269359 because my thought was "this should never happen as we'd consider it an error", but since then I've seen it be an issue a handful of times, so I'd rather not have that happen to actual developers.
