Comment:

 See also #9031, #8922, and #8883.

 It looks like the case we fixed in #8822 is not the only bug at work here.

 It's interesting that the multiple for the discontinuity is always a
 multiple of 33, and that the length of the annotation field is 32.

 Hypothesis: the microdesc write is succeeding, but the descriptor write is
 failing.
