You're right that the two are somewhat redundant.
IIRC, it's always an error if the control isn't produced, so we want to rub
some developer's nose in it.
However, given the variations in when ports and translations get updated, we
didn't want to force an immediate crash in these situations.
That way we're user-friendly (tolerant of the failure) but developer-hostile
(DEBUG builds squawk about it).
