Just re-post them with  swift post ssbench_000046 , then delete,
but make sure cluster is in a good health first.

I had this bug assigned for a while now, but all my attempts to
reproduce it ended in the inconsistency healing itself when updater
had a chance to run properly. It was a little surprising, because
as I understand, our auditors and replicators do not repair
this inconsistency, and it should be easy to bust updater.
Perhaps you found a good way to do it.
