kaldari triaged this task as High priority.

Eurgh, another RESTbase desync issue. Maybe caused by the DC fail-over?

We should probably put something in VE to cope in this circumstance, though.

I can't reproduce the error on the page linked to, or on beta labs.

I tested as well and it seems to be fixed.
