Some time ago I started translating
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word2vec
into Portuguese and now I wanted to continue it. As usual, T157862: Cannot edit a translation in ContentTranslation: "Failed to load saved translation" prevented me from doing so. So, I though I could just publish my draft translation as a user subpage
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:He7d3r/Word2vec
and then start over without being affected by the bug above. However, this was not the case. In fact, after I typed "Word2vec" again to start the translation again, I got the same errors, as if the old translation were still being used (this was indeed the case, as I was able to publish the inaccessible translation again as a user subpage). The extension didn't even try to load the current version of the English article: it used the same one from previous translation attempt). There is a screencast at F12154022 (the warning appears ~17 seconds after I start the process).

Event Timeline
This is still happening, now with an old translation of "Rational root theorem" to Portuguese
I checked the status of these two translations: Word2vec and Rational root theorem
Word2vec
- status "published" at https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usu%C3%A1rio(a):He7d3r/Word2vec
- last update '20171230"
Rational root theorem
- status "draft" at https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teorema das raízes racionais
- last update '20180823'
So, the translations were not deleted. But, as @He7d3r noticed the translation are of old revision of the articles. The oldid in the links is the translation_source_revision_id in cx_translations:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Word2vec&type=revision&diff=855726398&oldid=779268408
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rational_root_theorem&type=revision&diff=847944599&oldid=748898192
Almost three years later, I'm still unable to start a new translation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word2vec
Now it says:
Loading the saved translation...
followed by
The "Word2vec" page could not be found in English Wikipedia
which is incorrect, given the link above is working.
For some reason I get 404 Not Found from https://cxserver.wikimedia.org/v2/page/en/Word2vec while https://cxserver.wikimedia.org/v1/page/en/Word2vec seems to work fine
