Duplicate webform ids in webform table

I manage a large number of sites that operate under the same profile and config. Today one of them ran into an issue with a webform. Submitting a webform lead to a fatal error. I was seeing this in the log:

Drupal\Core\Database\IntegrityConstraintViolationException: SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1062 Duplicate entry 'attendance_form-2' for key 'PRIMARY': UPDATE {webform} SET next_serial=:db_update_placeholder_0 WHERE webform_id = :db_condition_placeholder_0; Array ( [:db_update_placeholder_0] => 2 [:db_condition_placeholder_0] => attendance_form ) in Drupal\Core\Database\Connection->handleQueryException() (line 683 of /path/to/drupal/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Database/Connection.php).

Looking at the contents of the webform table:

$ drush @site sqlq "select * from webform"
attendance_form 1
attendance_form 4
attendance_form_2   1

It somehow created a duplicate id for "attendance_form" and then went on to create another id for "attendance_form_2" which it seems that the submissions were causing more errors on with an id of 'attendance_form-2' based on the error message. I was able to resolve the error just by removing the duplicate records.

I manage over 200 sites operating under the same code base and configuration with this form. This is the first time we've run into this issue. We did recently upgrade to core 8.4.5 after the recent security update. What I don't have an explanation for is how it got into this state. I couldn't find anything similar in the current issue, so pardon if this is already a recognized problem that's already been dealt with. I'm just looking for any leads on what might have caused this. Yes, this is an older version of webform's 8.x beta branch, but I can't easily upgrade these sites in production outside of scheduled maintenance windows.
