Probably not, if the OP was testing something predating 8481f9989,
ie anything older than the latest point releases.
(This report does seem to validate my comment in the commit log
that "I think it might confuse ReadBuffer's logic for data-past-EOF
later on". I'd not bothered to build a non-assert build to check
that, but this looks about like what I guessed would happen.)
