A long-standing and egregious bug in the worker/wrapper code meant
that some functions with the CPR property weren't getting a CPR
w/w. And that had the effect of making a tail-recursive function not
tail recursive.  As well as increasing allocation.

Fixes Trac #5920, and #5997.

Nofib results (highlights):

 Geometric Mean          -0.0%     -0.4%     +0.1%     +0.1%     -0.5%

Looks like a clear win.  And I have not even recompiled the libraries, so
it'll probably be a bit better in the ed.
