According to only test failures, it seems that only the `update_main_cache_tree(0)` invocation is needed to avoid a torrent of test failures (490 failures across 102 tests). Removing lines 946, 947, 949, and 950 do not cause test breakages (although my computer is not set up to run all of the tests). However, there seems to be an interaction between lines 946-947 and `update_main_cache_tree(0)` on line 948: although lines 946-947 can be removed by themselves without test breakages, when 946-948 are all disabled together (and, in turn, lines 949-950 never run), one additional test failure is registered (t2203.5).
