The real reason it's not critical is that this is a "don't do that" case
anyway. Unpatched, the system hangs up, but if it were patched you'd
just get a failure complaining "requested stop before consistent state
reached" or whatever the wording is. Since we've seen only one report
about that since 9.1 came out, the error isn't being made often enough
to justify a panic re-release. We'll just fix it and move on.
