I think it is the surrounding usage in the debugger.  The primitive seems
to work as advertised.  But the debugger gets confused as to what is the
correct continuation afterwards.  i note that if one does step into resume:
the right answer is returned, and when that happens doPrimitive:... runs
terminateTo:.  When doing step over resume: then terminateTo: is I think
run via perform:.

Once again this requires a careful (painful?) instrumenting of the debugger
to see what actually happens ;)
