Agreed, that matches my research and testing, I have the same diff here and it
passes testing and works as intended.  This was briefly discussed in [0] and
slightly upthread from there but then missed.  I will do some more looking and
testing but I'm fairly sure this is the right fix, so unless I find something
else I will go ahead with this.

xid_wraparound is a really nifty testing tool. Very cool.
