Yeah, looks like this was a bug I introduced in the commit linked above. I intended to fix an issue where the bumped\_at date was sometimes getting pushed back in time when a first post older than the latest post in the destination topic was merged. But it looks like I also broke the case where the first post is newer.

I’ve got a fix for this in progress and I’ll update here when it’s resolved.
