Happening on mediawiki.org too. new topic and first comment has no topic title.

Then when I view the topic, neither topic nor title text! https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Sandbox&workflow=rthnzaa6pqcuvb5c

This was a cache problem that only manifested in production because neither ee-flow labs instance nor beta labs runs with a separate ExternalStore for Flow.

It was fixed by gerrit I5814d07d58375 'Revert "Implement multiPut method"', which we backported to 1.24wmf2.
