Well this is good news. This means that this is not a libMesh bug! What is
the use for semi-local then? If it's not a record of what's ghosted, what
do people use it for?

Based on what little information I've given you about my problem, what
suggestion would you have for when about when I can expect to safely access
an off-processor DOF and when I cannot based on the libMesh API?

Thanks!
