Yeah, I noticed it when I queued the two fixup commits near the tip of 'seen'. I wrote it off as the test *not* checking everything. If the test is about what the command does and not about how the command exactly does its thing, you may not notice the difference as long as two code paths both produce the right results.

So some tightening of tests might be needed, if we care.
