Because you've just changed the signature of the base function which
does not anything, but not e.g. MathScriptInset::notifyCursorLeaves()
which actually does mutate the thing.
So your patch does not only logically break the system, but also
physically as the 'virtual' machinery won't wokr anymore due to the
signature mismatch.
