    Ideal would be to find a reproducible-by-others testcase which does what you
    believe to be the wrong thing.

    That depends upon whether there are more suitable ways of fixing "the
    wrong thing".

    There may not be - it could well be that present behaviour
    is correct for the testcase, but it leaves the system in the wrong
    state for your large workload shift. In that case, prefetching (ie:
    restoring system state approximately to that which prevailed prior to
    "testcase") might well be a suitable fix.
