Comment:

 See [wiki:Commentary/Compiler/RecompilationAvoidance#Interfacestability],
 in particular I think the point right at the bottom about CSE is probably
 what's causing the differences you see.

 In a sense it's not a bug, in that we know interfaces are not stable.  Of
 course we'd prefer it if interfaces were stable, and moving towards
 stability has been a goal of mine over the past year or so.  I don't think
 it'll help to have a bug open on this right now, though.
