Yes, I was the guilty reviewer. You told me you would or wanted to add a 
leaf-only rule and I then wrote unit tests only for leaf parts. I should 
have checked the wording again later but didn't, lazy slob that I am.

Things fall through cracks.

I don't think it really matters. We've survived eleven point something 
years without noticeable interop problems.
