We never got to the bottom of what the problem is AFAIK.

This is the problem we need to debug.  Here's what I suggested before to
do that:

"A 'group_tool -v' here should show the state of the fence group still in
transition.  Could you run that, plus a 'group_tool dump' at this point,
in addition to the 'dump fence' you have.  And please run those commands
on both nodes."
