A small window-related bug in tcp_input.c?

There is the following code in tcp_input.c (I "underlined" two
questionable lines):

        /*
         * Process options only when we get SYN/ACK back. The SYN case
         * for incoming connections is handled in tcp_syncache.
         * XXX this is traditional behavior, may need to be cleaned up.
         */
        if (tp->t_state == TCPS_SYN_SENT && (thflags & TH_SYN)) {
                if ((to.to_flags & TOF_SCALE) &&
                    (tp->t_flags & TF_REQ_SCALE)) {
                        tp->t_flags |= TF_RCVD_SCALE;
                        tp->snd_scale = to.to_wscale;
                        tp->snd_wnd = th->th_win << tp->snd_scale;
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                        tiwin = tp->snd_wnd;
                }
                if (to.to_flags & TOF_TS) {
                        tp->t_flags |= TF_RCVD_TSTMP;
                        tp->ts_recent = to.to_tsval;
                        tp->ts_recent_age = ticks;
                }
                /* Initial send window, already scaled. */
                tp->snd_wnd = th->th_win;
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                if (to.to_flags & TOF_MSS)
                        tcp_mss(tp, to.to_mss);
                if ((tp->t_flags & TF_SACK_PERMIT) &&
                    (to.to_flags & TOF_SACKPERM) == 0)
                        tp->t_flags &= ~TF_SACK_PERMIT;
        }

Is it correct that the scaled value in tp->snd_wnd is later overwritten
with the unscaled value from th->th_win?
