I would omit this check - parse_oid_hex already exits early if the first 
character is NUL. (The existing code makes a bit more sense, in that it 
avoids checking the first few characters if we already know a bit more 
about the string.)

Looks fine, up to here.

(Also, you requested extra-careful review for this patch, but this patch 
seems mostly mechanical to me.)
