ISTM this is a bug, but it's not clear to me what is the solution.
I can think of two:
1. Changing the default is forbidden
2. When the default is changed, the dependency on the sequence is
dropped, and the sequence itself is dropped.
Which one do you think is best? Why? (I'd say "less bad" instead of
"best", but I'm not sure if that's a correct choice of words.)
