I'm surprised that this step would be there -- I would have expected it
to be simpler to execute the target of the first branch in place of the
second branch's delay slot.

SPARC doesn't have the "execute the second branch's delay slot" step.

branch2
target of branch1 (one instruction only)
target of branch2 (continuing)
PA-RISC has the same requirement (PA-RISC 2.0 manual, pages 4-5 and 4-6,
and PA-RISC 1.1 manual, page 4-10).
