Rereading this -- did you mean to propose that a possible fix was to
remove the "invalid arbiter index list" error?  I had understood
something different.

Your idea downthread of changing the way that check works (so that we
don't throw an error in this case, but we continue to double-check that
the arbiter list is sensible) sounds reasonable to me.  Do you want to
propose a specific check for it?
