Reproduced when upgrading an mdb database from 2.4.31 to 2.4.40 without 
reloading. I guess I forgot to test mdb before and only covered bdb/hdb.

I don't want to try introducing separate logic for reindexing vs 
reloading, just for a backport. I'll revert the change that allowed 
skipping the dump/reload.
