It's actually not being sent to the scheduler (even though, confusingly, the call is to nova.scheduler.client.report.update_resource_stats()).
It's actually just going to the conductor, and then the database.

Looks like, indeed, there was a bug introduced recently. Have you filed a bug yet? If not, please do and we'll get to work on it.

Best,
