Both these statements seem wrong.
The "when" statement is applied to candidate.
It is not deferred at all.

Each tree (candidate, running, startup) can have different contents.
This will impact the evaluation of when-stmts.  No tree can have any
nodes that require when-stmt evaluation, and that evaluation result is
"false".
(May not be the same result as in other trees)
