Attached is v2, which does it that way. It also adjusts the approach
taken to release locks and pins when the left sibling validation check
fails. This makes it simpler and more consistent with surrounding

Not including a revised amcheck patch here, since I'm not exactly sure
what to do with your feedback on that one just yet.
