Sadly I botched the test, and was doubly confused because Ævar might
have botched it too the same way as he originally reported it
worked[1] for him, only to say the opposite in the commit message for
the reroll.

the warning is not squashed even if we do the more aggressive BUG if
not NULL first and now I am even doubting there was a real bug to
begin with.

Neither this one or the previous one had bugs reported to gcc AFAIK,
until I raised[2] the previous one with Fedora, so there is no
confirmation either from their side that they are indeed bugs yet.
