Hmm.  Taking a step back this would be overcomplicating things.  As
long as we are careful to consume the synced results still in a
pipeline, it looks like we should be fine.  While digging into it, I
have found a third assertion that was triggerable with
available_results at the end of the pipeline, once I began mixing
\getresults with a deferred error.

This stuff is tricky enough that I may not have overseen all the
patterns possible, of course, at least this is progress.

Alexander, what do you think?
