Registry corruption issue - what could the cause be?

[Bill Hofmann]

It is not reproducible, at least at any reasonable percentage. On further
investigation, this particular device may never have worked, so it might
have been corrupted in the install process. Deleting the registry fixes the
issue, so there's a workaround. If it crops up more/again, will see what's
obvious. Neither playbin3, uridecodebin3 nor souphttpsrc were in the list
of blacklisted plugins. Besides grabbing a copy of the binary registry and
a GST_DEBUG=5 gst-inspect-1.0 output, are there other things that'd help in
understanding the issue, if not the root cause?
