I have noticed these "Dropping user packet because connection is dead" messages in the past, but I thought they were because tempest tests abruptly close the SSH connection.
However, it is interesting than when this message appears there is a 100% failure rate.

On the other hand I randomly looked at 3 failures with this footprint, and actually found out bug 1283522 (the lock wait timeout thing) was the real error cause. The tests appear to go past the "Dropping user packet because connection is dead" unscathed.

I don't know what to say here because 3 out of 1,124 is a very small sample.
