That's pretty worrying. The "stable" release is unusable for AFR, but 
the pre-release is? Isn't that a bit backward? How stable is the 
pre-release?

I managed to get it to replicate in the end by not mounting the FS 
(client part) on the empty target server and doing head -c1 on all files 
on the currently populated server. After that, mounting the client on 
the freshly populated server seems to work fine.
