When multipath is not set to group_by_prio, different paths in a pathgroup can have different priorities. If there is a problem getting the priority of an active path, its priority will be set to PRIO_UNDEF. This will change the priority of the whole pathgroup, even though it's likely that this is simply a temporary error. Instead, do not count PRIO_UNDEF paths towards to priority of the path group, unless there are no paths that have an actual priority. This will not effect the priority of multipath devices with group_by_prio, since all paths in a pathgroup will have the same priority.
