"Someone edited the page the same time you did" even though I know I'm the only one editing it

Summary

After importing a project from another instance, when I attempt to edit its wiki, GitLab claims someone edited the page at the same time I did, but it's not the case. It prevents me from saving my changes.

Steps to reproduce

Unfortunately it doesn't happen with all projects and I don't know why it does with some projects and not other ones:

  1. Import a project from another instance.
  2. Open the wiki.
  3. Press the Edit (pencil) button.
  4. Edit contents.
  5. Click the Save changes button.

Example Project

https://gitlab.com/jeromebelleman/foo

What is the current bug behavior?

After importing a project from another instance, editing its wiki and clicking the Save changes button doesn't actually save, but leaves the user in the editing page and causes this message to appear instead:

Someone edited the page the same time you did. Please check out the page and make sure your changes will not unintentionally remove theirs.

This happens even when I know I'm the only one editing.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Editing a wiki page and clicking the Save changes button should save without further ado.
