Comment (by dd32):

 The code is intentionally duplicated, as Transients are designed not to
 hit the database in the event that an object cache is in use (Whether that
 object cache is working correctly or not, is out of the hands of
 WordPress).

 A better way to approach this, I think, would be for for a object cache
 dropin to be able to notify WordPress that it's unhealthy and not working
 correctly, possibly by filtering `wp_using_ext_object_cache()` somehow.
