Partial revert of #13780

#13780 caused several regressions and I think it is too restrictive as a fix.
I am reverting it an re-opening the original #11982 issue.

It would be good to get to the bottom of what the soundness problem hinted at
in #11982 is, and what a fix should be. As it stands #11982 is not obviously
a soundness problem but a separate compilation problem.
