That's my "gut feeling" as well. ACTUAL-only children are still
children (in some sense), and should be included in the set of paths
returned by a walk of the children.

I seem to recall attempting to include tree conflict victims in the
set of walked children a few months ago, but the state of the code at
that time did not make it very practical. I think times have since
changed.
