So, as the comment suspected, this did come back to bite me! Fortunately not in a bad way, as I found this comment pretty quick while figuring out what was wrong with the new code I wrote. But honestly, I'm surprised that it lasted this long (almost 10 months!).
To my delight, removing this hack required no changes to any code! I take that as a sign that we're in a much better position today, architecture-wise, then we were back then.
