Yes, that's the expected behavior. If we didn't regenerate the paths
there, we'd end up with
Result
-> Append
-> [various paths that produce a tlist which needs to be adjusted
later by the result node]
Instead of:
Append
-> [various paths that produce an adjusted tlist]
Paths of the former kind have already been generated; we regenerate
paths here to get the latter kind as well, which end up displacing the
old ones on cost.
