I wonder if use of remoteheads later in the same function are correct,

I do think it would generally be a great idea to never use
"remoteheads" at all. An octopus merge that has been simplified to
just two parents isn't really an octopus merge any more.

So I think you're probably right - we should try to avoid using
remoteheads entirely, and any use is suspect
