Thanks for this! Some of what you're detailing in tech terms is above my pay grade (mysql etc). But I AM savvy enough to know that when I post "latest version", that I have checked the versioning number to confirm that my latest update is in fact the latest update.
So I support your suggestion that this has happened since the "latest" update. I'd be glad to provide anything more if needed but this is a long running bug it seems.
