Just being cautious.  It's entirely possible that this isn't needed.
Maybe removing it is correct in that nothing in the function appears to
need it, and if it causes a bug then that means that some other spot
ought to have called check_typedef.

Then my opinion would be to check if removing it causes any test failure. If not, I'd remove it (in its own commit such as this patch is good, so it's easy to bisect if needed).
