Just for reference: it looks like that's

Thanks for digging.  Indeed, if you go back to the parent of 56bf3d789
(Babel: avoid superfluous confirmation for internal wrapper,
2013-04-10), there are two queries.  On that commit, there is one.

It looks like the query went away with dbb375fdf (Simplify Babel calls
evaluation, 2016-06-16), which was included in the 9.0 release.  Based
on a quick glance at that commit, I don't think that was an intentional
change.

I won't take a closer look at this until at least this weekend, though.
I'd be very happy if someone beat me to it.
