Not quite, I think. It's *much* more obscure than it should be, but I
believe that the initial GLM fixed-effects parameters in both stages are
set to a vector of zeros, not to the results of an initial GLM fit. (In
the nAGQ=0 phase, the fixed effects parameters are profiled out, not
used as part of the high-level optimization.) The following two lines
are the proof (not at all obvious!)
