Ok, this is only provisional, because as I point out I'm not quite sure
about the corner case where we've refilled the buffer. It also has minor
formatting issues (slightly long lines in the comment, IMO). However, it
fixes the testcase, and I've got to go home for the evening, so here's my
work-in-progress; comments welcomed.
