It's the expected result of fixing a bug _by_ eliminating the optimization 
entirely.  It's not an expected result of merely fixing the bug.  It's quite 
obviously _possible_ to note that

if 0:
    return

is forbidden at module level, yet not emit any bytecode for it.  Indeed, it's 
so obvious that everyone here did it in their head without even noticing they 
had done so ;-)
