In a parserfunctions statement like this:

I can confirm this is how it works in both 1.12 and trunk (1.13 dev branch).
Looks like choice #1 is happening in MW 1.12.0, which is bad if #some-big-computation has side-effects or is very expensive. Is this correct behavior?
Are you perhaps running with the old parser enabled?
