Comment (by Rarst):

 Yes, the current situation is that nonce is ''guaranteed'' to be valid for
 a ''half'' of `nonce_life`. Personally I find that practically acceptable
 in context of ancient implementation and absence of it being reported as a
 problem for users with default duration.

 To be clear it does irks me plenty that it works in this clunky and
 unintuitive way! :) But it doesn't irk me enough to start messing with a
 very old core code that isn't an active problem.
