I think it is related to this task, when amending the hook, I found an issue that curl_exec returns false on failure but might return the result of a query (with CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER) which in turns can evaluates to false in PHP (eg an empty string). https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/mediawiki-config/+/1011171/2/wmf-config/wikitech.php
Had we been using an higher level API, we might not had been hit by that bug.
