No, it's entirely not standard. Maybe you could make an argument that it's too cheap to bother making it conditional, but without a convincing argument for that, it needs to be conditional.
That's what I figured, but as I mentioned I've having trouble figuring out how the fact that an analyze is in flight is determined. I assume it's something that lives of the EState or similar, but I'm not seeing anything obvious.
