Description
Gutenberg v10.7.x introduced a bug that caused some wp_options to get blank or corrupted data after (any) settings were updated in the options-general.php page. This was eventually fixed in v10.7.4, with this PR: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/releases/v10.7.4. See https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/issues/53447 and https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/issues/53431.
There's already a regression E2E test in Gutenberg that was introduced in this PR: ttps://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/32797. Ideally, though, it'd be either moved to WP core or also implemented here. It doesn't need to be an E2E test, and could be a lower-level integration test, if we can figure out how to reproduce at a lower level (there was a failed attempt to do this, though, see this comment: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/32797#issuecomment-865005516.
Today is 5.9 Feature Freeze. I'll punt this to Future Release (as 6.0 isn't
available yet for selection).
Test and build tool changes are allowed after feature freeze up until RC. If someone is able to work on this before then, it can always be moved back.
