I remember reading this many years ago, it was great.
In the last week Raymond Chen on his The Old New Thing mentioned the concept of delay slots on some CPUs.
It sounds like a similar thing, just formalized so it’s not a bug. Knowing that the instruction after a branch always executes, regardless of if the branch is taken.

Do I have that right?
