We think that this bug might be related to #vip-vsp

@neil-marcellini and @fedirjh - assigning as it's related to #41665 (is it a regression?)

[fedirjh]

@situchan was the C+ on #41665.

@jliexpensify I don't see why it would be related to #41665. I think it's more that the bug happened to be found while testing that PR. I will investigate a bit. It kind of sounds like a backend issue.
