My changes (with the fix) don't change the previous semantic. I just
tested without my changes and with my changes (and the fix), and I get
the same result: 184 bin hashes with
https://uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/dbxupdate_x64.bin

Could you please re-test and if there is still an issue bisect and share
the certificates causing this issue?

David, do you want me to send the two new patches or an updated full
patch series?
