This new referendum was tested end-to-end in chopsticks and it worked.
Pasting the relevant parts of the #694 description below:
The pallet_bridge_grandpa at Polkadot Bridge Hub is now in an inconsistent state, the Polkadot-GRANDPA-light-client running BH doesn’t correctly handle a corner case involving validator set changes following validator slashing. As a result of the bug, the GRANDPA light-client can fail to recognize the other side's validator set change and thus start refusing to accept subsequent validator set changes as well. More details can be found on this forum post .
We have encountered this bug on the BH, resulting in Kusama->Polkadot traffic being stuck. This upgrade fixes the bug so that it is protected from encountering the same issue.
