This looks like the counters were more out of sync before the upgrade than 
after?
Do you know if your client is retrying counter operations ? (I saw some dropped 
messages in the S1 log). 

S1 shows a lot of Commit Log replay going on. Reading your timeline below this 
sounds like the auto restart catching you out.
