So... we need to work out why this is happening, because it should work.  I
haven't had time to look over your changes in any depth yet, but I will have
some time in the weekend, so if you're still stuck on this I'll take a crack
at it as well.

I have a working standalone proof of concept for this approach already, so I
know we can make it work with monotone.
