Ah, Matt Riedemann just pointed out on IRC that we're not doing it on
single-instance fetch, which is what you'd be hitting in this path. We
use that approach in a lot of places where the rows would also be
multiplied by the number of instances, but not in the single case. So,
that makes sense now.
