Comment (by arma):

 Replying to [ticket:17772 arma]:
 > Now, a separate issue here is that Nick and I were both under the
 impression that a client will avoid using one of its guards if it loses
 the Guard flag. That appears to not be happening here either. I'll leave
 that for a separate bug. :)

 Opened as #17773. My initial thoughts are that actually the behavior is ok
 as-is.
