      The server was killed in the middle of this, and on accessing the table t3 we would get into trouble.

      ssh pluto
      rr replay /data/Results/1623345023/TBR-793/dev/shm/vardir/1623345023/59/1/rr/mysqld-2
      

      This would crash while accessing the table t3 due to an invalid BLOB pointer that had been left behind due to the SIGKILL.
      It should be sufficient to start up the server on the copy of the data directory:

      sql/mariadbd --datadir /dev/shm/data_copy
      

      CHECK TABLE t3 will report a number of row count mismatch to the client.

      The correct recovery would have been to drop the incomplete #sql-alter- table. What happens here instead is that the valid table t3 was dropped and the invalid table was renamed to t3.
