After some tests, it seems this is indeed what is happening. Whenever a
conflict in optimistic parallel replication is detected late in the
execution of the conflicting transaction, rows in the mysql.gtid_slave_pos
table can be left undeleted, as you see.

This goes back all the way to 10.1. I'm somewhat sad to see a bug like this
surface only now, it would appear that optimistic parallel replication is
not much used? Or maybe the fact that the table will be cleared on server
restart has made people just live with it?

In any case, thanks Reinis for taking the time to report this serious issue,
I'll see if I can come up with a patch to fix the problem.
