Summary

A typo in clbit-reconstruction was generating the incorrect number of loose clbits in circuits that contained registers and loose bits, and had more qubits than clbits. A bug elsewhere in the code caused circuits with no registers to be deserialised as containing registers, since the QuantumCircuit(int, int) constructor actually does produce two registers (slightly surprisingly, perhaps).

Details and comments

A typo in clbit-reconstruction was generating the incorrect number of
loose clbits in circuits that contained registers and loose bits, and
had more qubits than clbits.  A bug elsewhere in the code caused
circuits with _no_ registers to be deserialised as containing registers,
since the `QuantumCircuit(int, int)` constructor actually does produce
two registers (slightly surprisingly, perhaps).
