This fix is to handle a very specific race condition scenario as described here:

Subscription HA is enabled and a server is providing a client queue image to a 
peer (serializing the queue). Meanwhile, a client is also just finished client 
subscription registration with that same server and is recalculating its filter 
info to determine if the client needs the event. Recalculating the filter info 
results in the client message in the HAContainer to be mutated, which causes a 
ConcurrentModificationException to occur in the GII provider thread. The fix we 
landed on is to make a copy of the client update message when recalculating the 
filter info in the drain logic from the client registration queue. This 
guarantees that there will be no shared state between the GII thread and the 
client registration thread, and it also covers the case that multiple clients 
are calculating the filter info on the same event and potentially in contention.
