Since it appears that the operation of copying a new CellServDB over an
existing one, while a file server is in operation, is "undefined", does
your "bug" fit into that "undefined" category?
We are running: OpenAFS 1.2.11 built 2004-01-10

Describe "normal". ;)
Did you know your bug can bring down an entire cell, requiring all the
clients to reauthenticate?
