Ok, then that makes even less sense. I am not sure I understand why a nova-compute restart blow up the metadata on the port. I would argue that this is not a neutron bug but a nova/os-vif bug where not all metadata are restored upon interface recreation, assumed one is necessary.

As for your last question: yes, storing trunk details in the interface external_ids is done for performance lookup reasons. That avoids many OVSDB queries or even going back to the server. It's build on the fundamental premise that OVSDB is reliable.
