I don't know if this is related but I have this error related to plugins and settings when the application starts:

I assume it's some kind of race condition, maybe the same plugin call setSetting multiple times and some of the calls are dropped. For the db, it causes this error and maybe when saving to file it's overwriting the file with old data.
