Sorry I missed this earlier, but this could be a timebomb.

It means that there is some master out there that still has its old
changelog and is waiting to push changes you may not want back to the
restored master(s).

It would definitely be worth testing a scenario like this:

3 masters, A, B, C.

Backup A

Add a bunch of data

shut down C

Restore A

Re-init B

Confirm that that data you added is gone

Start up C

See what happens. I suspect that data will be re-added.
