Hmm, don't you need to do 'i--;' here?

(Sorry in advance if this is nonsense, I am just skimming the
patches without reading the whole series carefully).

Maybe try a test which has an entry, which requires the 'prefetch'
modification, that immediately follows a 'tag' or 'empty dst' entry.
(I can't quite tell, just reading the email, whether that is covered
by the tests below - so please just ignore me if it already works ;)
