I'm the initial bug reporter. This machine is on 10.13.3.
Seems like they pushed a bunch of substantial changes to the kernel.
My example is that there's an empty blank line in the bottom of about half of my terminal sessions. I haven't looked into it, and I assume it'll disappear in a future point release.
I've waited a bit after the "root" security issue, and now I prefer to be on the latest version.
