Say what the fuzzers can no longer tell about the stale-answer guard

Dropping `dirty_size_under` from it now passes every run there is. It stays
for the one entry the bottom-up ordering does not reach -- `update` draws
the root for a resize before `redraw_updates` runs -- which is a hole
reasoned rather than measured, and the note says which.
