I pushed a fix to `main` which I hope is less brittle than my quick
hack, but somehow it seems that code is simply not run in the test suite
nor in my "simple interactive use test" (as evidenced by the fact that
it worked fine despite having swapped the args to `memcpy).

So if someone has a way to reproduce the problem it would be a great
addition to our test suite.
