This is a reasonable fix, but I don't like seeing so much happening in
an argument list -- it's easy to misunderstand what's going on which can
lead to further bugs the future. Pull out this condition to a dedicated
bool variable with a comment explaining why we need the equivalence
check (i.e. to ensure both status bits are set and not just one).
