The two problems mentioned in bug #211863 were closing a console window from which conky was invoked and the presence of conflicting variables. Neither of these two problems apply here. It's simply that conky does not properly respond to a SIGHUP anymore.
"killall conky && conky -db" works just fine, but "killall -SIGUSR1 conky" - which is supposed to effectively accomplish the same result by reloading .conkyrc - caused conky to crash. It doesn't always cause apport to create a report, but it does segfault. $ killall -SIGUSR1 conky Conky: received SIGHUP or SIGUSR1. reloading the config file.
