OH! The critical bit I was missing that you're building *Clang with libc++* in 
order to see this issue, and the problem is that this particular call to 
`std::stable_sort` has UB because of a violated precondition. Thanks for 
sticking with the discussion until we had this clarity.

The changes LGTM now that I understand the context better. This doesn't seem to 
warrant a release note though, as users wouldn't see any differences.
