Argument 2 passed to CaptchaService::insertCaptchaElement() must be of the type array [#3099456]

The website fails to load. Fine if logged in and there is no captcha applicable.

This does not happen all the time, but reasonably regularly.

The process that worked a couple of times to get it working again is

"Make work again by 'clear captcha placement cache'. Then clear all caches.
Then load a page with captcha on it with a logged in user."

There is 2 captcha placement instances in captcha.module. The first instance does not check that a valid cache is returned. The second invocation does.

Line 221

      // Get placement in form and insert in form.
      $captcha_placement = _captcha_get_captcha_placement($form_id, $form);
      $captchaService->insertCaptchaElement($form, $captcha_placement, $captcha_element);

And line 277

        // Get placement in form and insert in form.
    if ($captcha_placement = _captcha_get_captcha_placement($form_id, $form)) {
      $captchaService->insertCaptchaElement($form, $captcha_placement, $captcha_element);
    };

We've expected this issue at our project. The last patch fixes it.
Code changes look straightforward. Tests are green.
I'm not a maintainer for this module, but it looks like this issue is a great candidate for RTBC
