No *lexical* conflicts, right? :-)

I built for-next/core with 16k pages/52-bits, and ended up with the
splat below. Unfortunately, it is intermittent, and I haven't been
able to reproduce it, so I have no idea whether it is my code, Ryan's
code or an inadvertent interaction between the two. (Or perhaps some
other code in the tree)

I did build with WXN enabled in this case, but it seems unlikely that
that plays a role here.
