Yes in this case I agree.

In general though reboot-recovery interoperability is hard to test and
bad documentation increases the chance we'll get it wrong.

(And these "edge cases" could also be more common that we expect: e.g.
if power failures come in clusters, and bring your switches down at
about the same time, could multiple-restarts-with-network-partitions be
the normal case?)
