Ah! That should have been in the commit message as the edge case
that provoked this. That's a decent explanation, though there's other
bits of buildworld that will also cause problems if you do them in isolation
and not part of buildworld. This one, though, is important enough to make
an exception for, I think. It's one that's most likely to be used in
isolation.
