Recompilation bug
I found this bug while researching Commentary/Compiler/RecompilationAvoidance. In some cases the compiler will not recompile when it should. This is a long-standing, albeit serious, bug.
Since the reproduction steps are quite intricate, I'll create a test case and then point to it from this ticket.
