Entertainingly, while this may not have affected end users, from
circumstantial evidence we think this did manage to tickle a Launchpad
bug which has existed since May 2016:

Good to have the excuse to investigate that, since it's probably bitten
us occasionally in the past without quite causing enough problems to
make it worth tracking down!
