Hmm, possibly. merge is of course an x-prefix, but "clear" uses the same
restoration technique. I suppose if you cleared the same bitmap multiple
times and tried to roll it back you could see trouble where we restore
an already cleared bitmap.
I'll say that patch 01/03 here should be considered a bugfix, yes, but I
wanted to see if anyone thought this had consequences I hadn't
considered yet.
