From a quick reading we can only reach there after evaluating an expression, so
can it really be null though? This code hasn't changed all that much since
2009, if there was a reachable segfault on a null pointer deref I have a
feeling we'd heard about it by now so some extra care seems warranted to ensure
it's not a static analyzer false positive.
