Hmph.  The only time this makes difference is when the code forgets
to mark active_cache_changed even when it actually made a change to
the index, no?  I do understand the wish to be able to observe what
_would_ be written if such a bug did not exist in order to debug the
other aspects of the change in this series, but at the same time I
fear that we may end up sweeping the problem under the rug by
running the tests with this option.
