That's basically the eternal state of NTLM in a nutshell...

Can you perhaps make a full fledged PR out of this suggested change?

It is only code, I'm sure it can be fixed.
As to *why* it works like this, I would presume that the only safe way to
figure out is to backtrack in the commit history and see if the commit that
brought the change explained it, but I doubt it.
So, we're left to reading the code and trying to figure out why the check is
there... and when I try to, I fail to explain it. =(
