This has come up before. The answer has always been, "No, it
shouldn't panic" followed by long and glorious debate on what it should or
shouldn't do and why, followed by no actual changes being made.
My suggestions is to try this again after your upgrade, and if it
is still panic'ing to send a PR.
Good luck,
Doug
