The gist of it is that it's interesting because it's such a rare occurrence. That's why we probably shouldn't even think about it. I've never seen such mistakes in OSS code before, and I've never seen it in production code either. It's so rare that we shouldn't spend any time thinking about it. Sure it's interesting, but why bother with this special case when there's bigger fish to fry?
