You've now been testing this for about 2 weeks. Have you seen this bug's
symptoms again?

If it had not been fixed successfully, would you expect to have seen at
least one instance of it by now?

Are there any messages like this:

Apr 13 14:50:39 schroeder gnome-shell[6317]: Attempting to call back into JSAPI during the sweeping phase of GC. This is most likely caused by not destroying a Clutter actor or Gtk+ widget with ::destroy signals connected, but can also be caused by using the destroy(), dispose(), or remove() vfuncs. Because it would crash the application, it has been blocked and the JS callback not invoked.

in the system log on any of the affected machines, but *without* the UI
freeze and log flooding?

Thanks,
