I just tried:

```
// Don't try to save them multiple times.
if (!savedAttrs.empty()) return;
```

 I didn't get any test failures.

Of course, this isn't proof that this is _really_ OK, but it's an indication.

You know this code better than I do, so I would defer to you: How do you think 
I should proceed? Should I eliminate `hasSavedAttrs` too?
