Marking it critical. I think we need to get this cleaned up before 5.1 goes out. Having 2 different opcodes handling this that can potentially return conflicting results causes all sorts of confusion. Took me about an hour working backwards through assumptions before I finally figured out that if() and if(!) were to blame.
