Oh, this is embarrassing. I did catch a few typos during testing (including the
one you pointed out), but it looks like I forgot to squash the commits fixing
those into the branch I threw to format-patch.

I'm currently re-working the patch with spatch; since there are a lot of other
code segments checking buffers for equality, the ratio of removed/added lines
might tip into the more favorable direction. Using coccinelle might also
help to keep the brain alive while wading through boilerplate code :-)
