Why the Grant/Vacate/Remand in the RFRA bankruptcy case?

[Eugene Volokh]

    The Court just granted the cert petition in Christians (the case
that held that RFRA barred recovery of tithes), vacated, and remanded
for further consideration in light of City of Boerne v. Flores.  Huh?
Is it just a "we've got an excuse to off-load some work, so we might
as well do it" GVR?  Obviously there's no clear state/federal power
question there.
