Comment(by nickm):

 wanoskarnet pointed out on IRC that the behavior on TRUNCATE cells makes
 the network fragile if anybody uses TRUNCATE.  Unfortunately, this isn't
 new behavior with this patch: the network has operated this way since cell
 queues were introduced.  To make TRUNCATE work right will be another
 (orthogonal) bugfix.  Since nobody's using TRUNCATE after streams now
 AFAICT, the fix can probably wait till 0.2.3.x.

 I've edited the spec in branch bug1184 more to clarify that this isn't
 working-as-intended.
