I doubt it --- that test is so specialized that it'd be unlikely to
catch any other bug.


I agree; it's not worth adding a TAP test except may be as a demonstration to write future tests for catching such issues. This was a very specialised test case written after getting a full grasp on the bug. And it just tests the thing that I knew is broken based on code reading. Also, with OID duplicate issue fixed, hitting more bugs in this area is going to be even more difficult.

Thanks,
Pavan
