No worries, I just triggered the test now running OVS compiled out of
2.8 branch (2.8.3). I'll post the results and investigate too.

I have just sent a patch to fix the timing issue we can see in the traces I
posted. I applied it and it works, I believe it's good to fix as it gives us
an idea of how frequent the compact is, and also to backport if you
agree with it.

Thanks!
