mariadb-upgrade note is useless and wrong

Upgrading from 10.11.7 to 10.11.8 shows a new, never seen before, phenomena (note):

$ mariadb-upgrade --user=root --force
...
download.distribution_versions
note : Auto_increment will be checked on each open until CHECK TABLE FOR UPGRADE is executed
status : OK
download.distributions
note : Auto_increment will be checked on each open until CHECK TABLE FOR UPGRADE is executed
status : OK
download.files OK
download.operating_systems
note : Auto_increment will be checked on each open until CHECK TABLE FOR UPGRADE is executed
status : OK
...

This happens not on all tables but on some. This is reproducible and message does not go away after executing mariadb-upgrade again.

It can be reproduced with CHECK TABLE ... FOR UPGRADE:

mariadb> check table distribution_versions for upgrade;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.001 sec)

mariadb> check table distribution_versions for upgrade;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.001 sec)

So IMHO this message is nonsense and should go away at least after the 2nd CHECK TABLE FOR UPGRADE.

This phenomena can be reproduced at will. If you need some more information (like SHOW CREATE TABLE, .frm file, etc.) please let me know.
