But isn't this fixed by my commit (d4f610a9bafd)? How is it possible to
reproduce above error when you are NOT test compiling?

That's not really a bug to be fixed. No things got worse by missing two
entries, so how this part could be called something needing fixing?

Two entries for more specific default - before they were ALWAYS default,
so again I narrowed it from wide default. Nothing to fix here. You can
narrow it further but claiming that my commit made something worse looks
like a stretch - and that's a meaning of fixing someone's commit.

That's not correct tag - it introduced no new issues, did not make
things worse, so nothing to fix there, if I understand correctly.
