I believe this is connected to a known discrepancy between what the
standard seems to say and what glibc is doing. I'll see if I can dig
up past discussions of it. If it's coming up again, it's likely that
this is an issue that needs a proper interpretation (and possibly fix
in the language of the standard, if the current text really does imply
something different than what it's supposed to; the fix might end up
being along the lines of "it's unspecified whether...").
