Something strange is happening where we ensure that the response does not
appear on the rhs of the formula.  

At lines 1643ff of model.c we count how many columns of the design matrix
are needed for each model term.  This count is not done if the term is the
response, which leaves the count uninitialised.

We then use this uninitialised count at 1673ff to construct the assign
attribute.
