An error does not take us out of the READY phase, which is what s->synced signifies. It does of course mean that source and target are no longer in sync, but that is what s->actively_sync is for -- s->synced never meant that source and target are in sync, only that they were at some point (and at that point we transitioned into the READY phase).
The tangible problem is that we transition to READY once we are in sync and s->synced is false. By resetting s->synced here, we will transition from READY to READY once the error is resolved (if the job keeps running), and that transition is not allowed.
