The difference might be that t is a freshly-initialized VerseKey, with
no history. But currentVerse, which is a global variable, might be
carrying around bits of state that are different from the brand new t.
I don't know the code, so I don't know either whether (a) currentVerse
could conceivably be in a non-initialized state at this point or (b)
if there is anything in a VerseKey object that you could set that
would make it interpret the 0 verse number in this way. But that is a
difference between the two versions, for what it's worth.
