I have (hopefully) fixed the bug in fae1a611d2f907aa23c237b9f84df5089d30f728. A related fix is in 5294a6f77a900493b3e81eb70c1698ec3c4814b8. I would suggest both to be included in 6.4. No special QA treatment is required (the bug is exposed by existing testcases, it just triggers rarely).
The latest scratch build that includes those two patches: https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/taskinfo?taskID=5198439
