Ah, I would say they both are wrong. The set_graph_notrace is rather
new, and probably copied and pasted incorrectly.

But having nothing printed may not be the best thing to show. I think
both should be switched to

#### no functions disabled ####

But this can be done in my 3.16 queue.

Thanks for the report,
