My understanding of your question is: if I am removing the tests in one 
place then they should not be be necessary in the other.  This is not 
the case.  A call to PdhLookupPerfNameByIndexA will call 
PdhLookupPerfNameByIndexW and thus execute the all tests.  The way it is 
at the moment the tests get executed twice (in the negative), this 
change ensures that they only execute once.
