I guess we can avoid that, the issue should be present in any version
after that commit.

this sounds like a reliable and simple reproducer, so please use this
access pattern when trying to reproduce the issue.

Fwiw, I've written a testcase that excercises the supposed problematic
access pattern and can reproduce a server bug in the commit you've bisected.

I have a WIP fix for master, can you give it a whirl?
