This is the reason I stopped short of adjusting the code in the patch
I proposed in [1].  Speaking of which, do you have any views on that?
It seems much more likely that someone would have caught the issue
being reported here when writing the patch or during review if there
was some sort of documentation to mention the function can't handle
duplicate GroupVarInfos.

I'll look at that patch again in the next few days with aims to push
it unless someone has something to say about it.
