I have been able to dig into this issue further, and the problem is
indeed in the wait logic of 005_encoding.pl. It is important to wait
for the initial sync of the subscriber to happen. There is no need to
incorporate the additional wait query in wait_for_caught_up() as well.
Please see the attached which fixes the stability problems for me even
after forcing failures in launcher.c.
