It is most likely the former. Polygraph 2.5.4 can tell the difference
(race conditions are handled by retrying a transaction rather than
reporting an error).
One simple, albeit imperfect, way to test is to disable persistent
connections on Polygraph or proxy side and see if those errors go away.

If you are talking about changing workload files, you most likely will
need to do some adjustments. For example, the PolyMix-2 workload does
not have "file name extensions" in URLs while PolyMix-3 has them (in a
contents.pg file, shared by other workload files). For public tests, you
must use 2.2.9 for PolyMix-2. For in-house, custom tests, you can try to
use current versions.

Yes, we know and are [still] working on it. Unfortunately, it is hard to
find a decent search engine that meets our criteria. For example, I am
not really satisfied with HtDig or swish-e. Off-list suggestions are
welcome.
