Diego, I think you should feel free to fix this.  As you say, it's just
a recipe for trouble to be doing any code generation at all when errors
have ocurred.  At worst, we miss some diagnostics -- which we will then
issue when the user recompiles after fixing whatever errors they had in
the original code.
