I can't reproduce this with current CVS.  Some of the logic has changed,
but I don't know if the bug is fixed or if the conditions for it
happening have just changed.  Unless someone wants to go back to the old
CVS version, track down the source of the bug, then see if it still
applies, I think we'll have to wait for another incident.

I agree.  But probably the unit has to appear before it disappears and
that's what makes the unit unsentry.
