Asserting this makes it impossible to skip any buffers with nestio.
Either we introduce a concept "handled but not done" into buf or stop
asserting things like this.  I'm not sure which is better.  buf is complex
enough already so that 95% of the calling code is probably incorrect,
but then again asserts would catch errors.  Thoughts?

(I didn't have a commit email to the original assert handy, therefore
I'm replying to this.  But in no way did this change cause the problem).
