John,

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

How much discussion is required here?

And how much work is it to back it out if and when we agree to do it?

One possibility is for make_entry to take a flag saying whether names
need to be normalised or not. That's not fixing the bug though, just
working around it, so I'd rather not go down that path.
