I suppose so.  The one that I did fix was a bug that I'd like to have 
caught before now (the reason for just focusing on bug-fixes for 9.7).

The other I wouldn't have seen unless I was digging deeper to find
something to reproduce from your report.  (It did seem like a lot of
shift-right's, but I think I counted off 57-58 consistently - it has
to be related to the specific data...)
