I guess pubMu is only for preventing data races when updating the local tablet, but this is a higher-level semantic race?

Because Restore caches the tablet at the beginning and reuses it at the end. In my initial fix, I changed Restore to re-read the tablet before publishing it. But I remembered that this pattern exists everywhere else, which essentially requires the action lock to be the mutex for the tablet.
I think the more correct fix will be to change all call sites to not cache the tablet, but instead directly change it. This is the more subtle fix I had in mind.
The restore function races with the mysql port finder, and sometimes ends up overwriting the port with its own empty cached value. This "big hammer" fix makes the port finder wait till it gets the action lock before updating the mysql port. In a later cleanup, we can use a more subtle method.
