I agree. It's more or less a accident that the assert - which just
should be moved in the regd_count == 0 branch - didn't trigger for the
SQL interface. The snapshot acquired by the SELECT statement prevents it
there.

It's not entirely trivial to add tests for receivelogical though. You
need to stop it programatically after a while.
