Well, we can just say it has a current limit that is triggered pretty
quickly on insertion / inrush current, whether the lower load impedence
is coming from empty capacitor or actual load I guess it doesn't care.

Anyway overall it works fine, which is just as well because there is
nothing we can do about it, except improve the handling of the removal +
insertion flag case that Matt spotted.
