I'm starting to think that partitioning was just a red herring. The
instance had problems in the presence of DELETEs, not UPDATEs (or
cross-partition UPDATEs).
Did the affected system that you investigated happen to have an
atypically high number of databases? The system 15.4 system that I saw
the problem on had almost 3,000 databases.
