I know, but my last mails to prod things a few weeks ago iirc didn't
even get any reply, that's why I got impatient and started this thread
once it was confirmed the bug is not fixed. I pretty sure that's
expected in my position at this point; looking back at this now in
contrast to how Linus usually handles regressions I wonder if I should
have gotten impatient a bit earlier, as this caused trouble for a quite
a few users for quite a while already. But whatever, that's water under
the bridge now.

I saw your comments in the bugzilla ticket, so it seems you finally
found something that might cause the reported problems. Great & many thx
for that!
