This is definitely not correct, since ALIGNRP after IUP[xy] *is* valid
bytecode!

No. I think the correct solution is to `mute' all instructions that
change the rasterization result, but those instructions should be
executed nevertheless.

Of course! Just think of setting or modifying CVT values, for
example.
