Sorry, but I can not reliably hit this bug. I hit it randomly twice last
week however, despite doing a bunch more runs this week, I haven't hit
it again.

I can add the patch to my testing next week but I ca not give you a
definitive answer on whether this fixes the bug.

Perhaps Naresh's test is a better reproducer.

Thanks!
