Actually, this is seen on test2 only so far.

Yeah, this is a worrying regression, possibly due to the bug 55551 changes.

(Saw breakage for Rummana on her account on MW.org, so this is probably a timing issue related to when the accounts hit a wiki before the code changed or similar?)

Also getting reports of this on enwiki etc. – not great.
