No, that's an unrelated stupid test mistake that i've fixed locally and am
currently hammering on – but that's for pointing it out!

> The way JSON Facet's simple refinement "re-sorts" buckets after refinement
> can cause _refined_ buckets to be "bumped out" of the topN based on the
> refined counts/stats depending on the sort - causing _unrefined_ buckets
> originally discounted in phase#2 to bubble up into the topN and be returned
> to clients *with inaccurate counts/stats*
> The simplest way to demonstrate this bug (in some data sets) is with a
> {{sort: 'count asc'}} facet:
> * assume shard1 returns termX & termY in phase#1 because they have very low
> shard1 counts
> ** but *not* returned at all by shard2, because these terms both have very
> high shard2 counts.
> * Assume termX has a slightly lower shard1 count then termY, such that:
> ** termX "makes the cut" off for the limit=N topN buckets
> ** termY does not make the cut, and is the "N+1" known bucket at the end of
> phase#1
> * termX then gets included in the phase#2 refinement request against shard2
> ** termX now has a much higher _known_ total count then termY
> ** the coordinator now sorts termX "worse" in the sorted list of buckets
> then termY
> ** which causes termY to bubble up into the topN
> * termY is ultimately included in the final result _with incomplete
> count/stat/sub-facet data_ instead of termX
> ** this is all indepenent of the possibility that termY may actually have a
> significantly higher total count then termX across the entire collection
> ** the key problem is that all/most of the other terms returned to the
> client have counts/stats that are the cumulation of all shards, but termY
> only has the contributions from shard1
> Important Notes:
> * This scenerio can happen regardless of the amount of overrequest used.
> Additional overrequest just increases the number of "extra" terms needed in
> the index with "better" sort values then termX & termY in shard2
> * {{sort: 'count asc'}} is not just an exceptional/pathelogical case:
> ** any function sort where additional data provided shards during refinement
> can cause a bucket to "sort worse" can also cause this problem.
> ** Examples: {{sum(price_i) asc}} , {{min(price_i) desc}} , {{avg(price_i)
> asc|desc}} , etc...
