Thanks, Lukas. This is exactly what I was going to suggest after having
a look at the code now.

The problem is not related to drivers not having a primary child in
general (though quorum might be the only one in this category at the
moment), but that quorum wants to override the default error handling
semantics with its voting mechanism.
