Caused by rMWcde00b558542: auth: Add AuthManagerFilterProviders hook. Not sure if it's a bug in that patch or it just exposed a bug from earlier, will look into it.

If it doesn't occur any more, it's simply a side effect of deploying a change that adds a new field to a data structure stored in the session, while some live sessions were holding the old version of the data structure. (Sorry, I should have foreseen that happening.) Authentication sessions expire in five minutes so not a big deal, a few logins (up to a hundred or so, I'd guess based on the size difference between group1 and group2) will fail with a strange error message and users will have to retry. Not great but not worth an emergency patch, IMO.

Then again, it's really easy to make an emergency patch for it.
