 Gutenberg v10.7.x introduced a bug that caused some `wp_option`s 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.
