By "reproducible" we usually mean that someone else can reproduce the
issue given the same starting position (usually a fresh install or
pristine cloud image) and following exactly the same instructions.
It sounds like you're able to reproduce it from a fresh installation. Is
this the case? If so, it would help if you could write down the exact
steps (with no ambiguity) of exactly what you're doing from a fresh
installation to lead to the problem, and exactly what you're doing to
confirm that the problem exists. For example, don't say "install mysql",
say "type: apt-get install mysql-server-5.7". I do know how to install
mysql, but there are many ways of doing things, and I need to know
exactly which of those ways you are using for every single step.

Sure - it does sound like a race condition at the moment. But I still
need instructions on how to reproduce the problem even if it doesn't
occur every time.

You're welcome. I understand it's frustrating.
