There's absolutely no problem with updating the refcounts of 0 clusters.
At least snapshot code is doing this and would fail once the result of
update_refcount isn't ignored any more.

So for legnth = 0, last will equal start and we'll never go through
the loop.  But should we really bother with all the other work in the
function or just return 0 early on?

I'm not a big fan of special-casing for no real reason ("all the other
work" basically is calculating start and last and skipping two ifs - and
length = 0 is an unusual case anyway), but if you really mind we can
change it.
