Fixed that, thanks for the test case!

There's still something fishy about your git bisect results; they don't
have much to do with what seems to me to be the triggering condition.
I suspect the problem is that git bisect doesn't allow for the possibility
that the symptom might appear and disappear over time, ie it might have
been visible at some early stage of the LATERAL work but been fixed later,
and then reintroduced by still-later optimization efforts.
