Our hash tables allow duplicate keys, and we use that in a few places. However, the get() function only returns the first, so it's not a good idea with such hash tables.
Another patch fixes this at a deeper level (using different hash table types depending on whether this table can have duplicates), but this is the minimal fix for existing code.
This may be the cause behind us occasionally missing onchain events:
Fixes: #7460
Fixes: #7377
Fixes: #7118
Fixes: #6951
This fixes them in future: fixing them now will require something else.
