I'm not sure it caused a new bug.

I'm hard pressed for free time lately, so I'd be grateful if you could
see whether it would be possible to make the original change smarter,
so that it avoids causing the current issue.  If not, I will try to
look into it in a couple of weeks or so.

That's a separate issue, isn't it?  We could refrain from calling the
after-change hooks as well.
