AFAICS this change is unnecessary and even incorrect: the

  (mlet* %store-monad ((system (if system
                                   (return system)
                                   (current-system)))

trick ensures that we get the system that current at the time of the
monadic bind, whereas your change get the system and target that are
current at the time of the call.

It’s a terrible pitfall, I know…

Thanks,
Ludo’.
