Thanks,

I fixed the others. I'll send an updated patch later.

Yes, I can see that adding the coupling should add to robustness even
though I do not have an example that breaks things in mind.

I'll try referring to the branch instruction from the metadata that all of
the metadata then again refers to (bidirectional reference from the
branch itself). That should do (if it works), unless you have a better
idea for this.
