The backtraces look identical.  So does this mean expose_frame returns
immediately in the "master" case without doing anything, but in the
"revert" case it doesn't return?  If so, is the reason the fact that
the problematic frame is marked as "garbaged" in the "master" case,
but not in the "revert" case?
