Yes, I assumed that it related to order-only, and I tried that problem
case, without exposing the make bug. Which doesn't mean much, it may
just be that it takes a different case to trigger it.
I'm wondering whether I should just retract the patch, for safety.

Yes, sorry for that omission. It would also be cleaner to pick those
bits from your patch that define per-fronted *_OBJS, and use those.
