Possibly now fixed?

Nope this is still happening.I guess it has something to do with the code change in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/160034/

It's now worse, see bug 71373. I speculated about why this bug happens in bug 71373 comment 3.

This appears to now be fixed (testing on enwiki); can we confirm and close?

Nope, still happening in en.wiki,test2 and Betalabs
