Calling .new on payload modules does not perform parameter validation, leading
to a number cached sizes based on invalid parameters. Most notably,
normalization does not occur either, which makes all OptBool params default to
true.
See the complaint on #4039. This doesn't fix that particular
issue (it's somewhat unrelated), but does solve around
a file parsing problem reported by @void-in
