Good-oh.  (I did pull the latest tip, and then panicked because Nick's
change had already made it out.)

Please do.  I've just tried, and I can't reproduce the problem either.

The watch-slots patch seems to uncover all manner of brokenness in
http-fetch.c -- or I've violated some unwritten assumptions of a very
deep nature, which is always possible.

Maybe the right thing to do is to go with Nick's separate-status-
structures patch as an actual mainline fix, with my patches for
http-fetch.c's other bugs as a belt-and-braces.
