This is pretty strange -- if you were already on 12.2.5 then the
http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/19593 should have been fixed and
switching standby replays on/off shouldn't make a difference (unless
there's some similar bug that crept back into luminous).

This message suggests that the purge queue has been corrupted, but the
MDS is ignoring this -- something is wrong with the error handling.
The MDS should be marked damaged when something like this happens, but
in this case PurgeQueue is apparently dropping the error on the floor
after it gets logged by Journaler.  I've opened a ticket+PR for the
error handling here: http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/24533 (however,
the loading path in PurgeQueue::_recover *does* have error handling so
I'm not clear why that isn't happening in your case).

I believe cephfs-journal-tool in mimic was enhanced to be able to
optionally operate on the purge queue as well as the metadata journal
(they use the same underlying format), so upgrading to mimic would
give you better tooling for debugging this.
