    Correct (thank you for making sure, I have definitely not tested that
    before...).

    Going back to v5.16-rc8, everything works fine.

    I don't think I will have time to look at this today but I will try
    tomorrow. Having the bisectability bug fixed would help narrow things
    down but I am almost certain it is something up with the new per_task
    infrastructure but I'll have to dig around and see if I can understand
    that first.

    Cheers,
    Nathan
