Did you try that?  That certainly shouldn't be true!

struct value *
coerce_ref (struct value *arg)
{
  struct type *value_type_arg_tmp = check_typedef (value_type (arg));
  if (TYPE_CODE (value_type_arg_tmp) == TYPE_CODE_REF)
    arg = value_at_lazy (TYPE_TARGET_TYPE (value_type_arg_tmp),
                         unpack_pointer (value_type (arg),              
                                         value_contents (arg)));
  return arg;
}
