It's a harmless bug, somewhat reducing the amount of balancing we can do on SMP, but the balancer was still pretty much intact (we'd have noticed it earlier if it wasnt). The bug was found by Scott Rhine and myself not because the scheduler behaved badly, but via code review, because the comments did not match the code :-)
