Just tried it again (after avoiding any situation triggering this bug as
much as possible for a while), and apparently some update in the
meantime has indeed fixed it. Nothing remains of the symptoms described;
under heavy load everything keeps running, albeit slower of course.
Thanks for your time and effort.
