OK sorry for getting this backwards, so I was under the impression that
BOTHER was an internal detail of the TTY layer, not to be or:ed on
and passed in from the outside.

Then everything makes perfect sense, I'll try to patch the caller
instead for this "bug" and see what happens. Probably it JustWorks...
