So ask that question; "I looked at this and I'm not really sure if it's
supposed to work or not - thing X suggests yes, thing Y suggests no but
looks like a bug so..." and so on.

In cases like this (although not I suspect this particular one) the
answer is often that there was't any particular consideration for
whatever unusual case you're looking at.

The important thing is to show that you're looking, especially in areas
where you've done something unusual in your driver.  "Looking at this
briefly..." isn't a problem, just make it clear that that's what you've
done.

Part of the reason I'm emphasising this is that stuff like this seems to
cause you to get stuch relatively often.
