Currently, yes.  What's actually happening is that the call gets moved to
the "globals graph".  Essentially, this is due to the fact that the
function call cannot modify the local memory graph of the current
function.  In cases where the target pointer is null like this, you can
safely assume that the called function doesn't modify the current graph.
