I found it.  The phantom conditionals were in subs generated via eval
inside AUTOLOAD.  So the summary is correct; the only problem is with the
reporting, which doesn't know how to handle eval-generated subs.  Some of
the reporting sort of works, when I look at the main summary for the file,
but apparently the conditional coverage doesn't.
