Answer: because InlineTree does not record inlining failures.

Roland, I will go through your changes and look how we can do it more 
elegant. Essentially we need to keep records of all call sites and their 
inlining state. We can order them later before printing by bci and 
inline depth (the order is messed up by later inline).

Thanks,
Vladimir
