You and Eli gave two analyses of the nature of this change:

Eli:

Lars:

If Lars is right, it is ok to install.  If Eli is right, it should not
be installed.

So it's a matter of which of those two is right.  I have no idea.
But you can compare notes and figure out.

Is it possible that, in some way, both are right?  If so, this is a
strange situation and worth deeper study.
