I don't agree with their assessment, but also not really interested in putting effort into debunking it.

Just occurred to me there's a different possibility:

The extra connection bug mentioned could be from a rogue thread/process/code-path connecting to the queue and fetching an item, but somehow not doing the work.

Verifying this likely requires access to the codebase, so treat this as little more than idle speculation.
