I've seen at least one place that passed through the original
SVOperand and SVOffset, but incorrectly forget to adjust SVOffset.
The assert you suggest wouldn't catch this.  There really need
to be some new or better methods to make it hard to get this kind
of thing wrong (currently it is hard to get it right!).

Ciao,
