Ah, thanks much for the heads up on these additional issues. Perhaps it
would be safest for me to stick with 2.4.41 until a 2.4.45 is officially
released with fixes for both the replication loop and possible fallout from
its fix :). We've been pretty lucky with 2.4.41, knock on bits, it's been
very stable with no issues or problems that I've seen while we've been
running it.
The bug noted in ITS#8460 is not present in 2.4 at all. Quanah is also running
experimental backports of features from 2.5 and forgets to mention that
sometimes. This particular issue is from 2.5 (and is now fixed in git).
Most likely it's the same issue as #8448. You can disregard both of these.
