I don't see any obvious problem with your suggested fix but it doesn't
appear to be a very good solution as it will still mark all entries
for an invalidation after any valid DML operation. Also, there doesn't
appear to be much benefit in versions >=v14 (as per tests done till
now). So, instead of partially solving your use case for old versions,
isn't it better if you can upgrade to later versions (>=14)?
