I *think* I saw that random uuid-style strings of alphanumerics and underscores or dashes also sorted differently. I didn't stop to take time to definitively verify that, but just kept on with re-indexing as quickly as possible. But I definitely saw symptoms of corrupted indexes until the reindex completed, and they appeared with the OS upgrade, not before, *as far as I know*
