The following comment change in tvbuf.h looks misleading to me:

 /** Computes bytes to end of buffer, from offset (which can be negative,
   * indicate that offset is out of bounds. No exception is thrown. */

Nothing remaining is a valid situation while trying to access out of bounds
data is not: The latter indicates either a programming error or an invalid
packet.
I'm not happy with that change.
