Background is in workers/34055 and 34059, and this looks to have
something to do with noerrexit not propagating into the first sublist
in a function body.  It's entirely possible that the change from
having a few numeric values for the flags to have a set of bit values
has made that test unnecessary, or it may be needed in case that
hasn't been tested yet -- the original report in 34055 involves
calling a function within an if/else block.
