I also tested with the zig reproducer from
	https://github.com/axboe/liburing/issues/1477
and with the spurious wakeups the reproducer shows the premature
wakeup without any CQE posted, too. It seems that the missing "+1"
is an oversight that got introduced between v1 and v2 of the commit
that fixed the above issue.
