I guess it's broken as a result of 5b703683b6cc3cb97bbe6b1b14898b273eb59279
which added that call without really understanding the call path. I
don't see any solution other than partially reverting that commit.
As can be seen from the commit message, this was done blindly with no
testing - so it's no surprise that it broke.
