Accedentally, but yes.  It does remind me I need to ensure to not file
bugs for the "NOT SERVER TEAM" packages.

Thanks, at least the workaround seems to have satisfied the reporter's
immediate needs.  I still think this may be a corner case somehow
relating to the mounting of /run on a temp fs, however there's probably
enough clues to reproduce things now; guessing a fix would be just a
mkdir in an appropriate debian startup script.  You posed some good
questions that might help elucidate the situation more.  I think the
priority though will be to get going on the PHP 8.1 transition first,
and then review the still-reproducing PHP bugs after that.
