Ah, thanks, Taylor, for so meticulously investigating this. I'll take a look.
A test should be doable - we already have tests (the ones that use
"get_first_changed_path_filter") that check the bytes of the filter
generated, so we should be able to write a test that writes one version,
writes the other, then checks the bytes.

The intention in the current patch set was to not load it at all when we
have incompatible Bloom settings because it appeared quite troublesome
to notate which Bloom filter in memory is of which version. If we want
to copy forward existing results, we can change that, but I don't know
whether it's worth doing that (and if we think it's worth doing, this
should probably go in another patch set).

I'll take a look. Yes this does seem like a gap in test coverage -
I thought the existing test that checks that Bloom filters are not
used when a different version is requested would be sufficient, but
apparently that's not the case.
