Some code uses sem-name as some sort of unique key to identify the
sfmt slot for this operand (though most appears to use obj:name).
One use for the former was identifying profilable operands by
string-wise matching with another list.  With the sem-name changed
(as the previous patch did), the code would overlook some otherwise
profilable operands.

In other words, there were gratuitious profiling-related changes in
the generated sources after the first patch, so I had to go find out
why...  :-)

... guess not.  Will fix.
