Description

With my main account, I opted in, out, in, out at beta cluster (over about 10 minutes, with pauses between each).
The final opt-out, resulted in this error:

[7375dc8e] /wiki/Special:Preferences MWException from line 3711 of /srv/mediawiki/php-master/includes/User.php: CAS update failed on user_touched for user ID '1255' (read from slave); the version of the user to be saved is older than the current version.

Backtrace:

Since that, I get the same error every time I try to save my preferences, no matter which setting I try to change.

Quiddity set Security to None.

At AaronSchulz's suggestion, I added an item to my watchlist, and that partially fixed it. I no longer get the error when trying to save preferences.
I'm not sure if that resolves this bug entirely or not.
I'm still not able to opt-out this particular account, from the beta feature. (saving the opt-out doesn't result in any change at my usertalkpage).
