We have been seeing head state reverts to older finalized epochs. This is due to discrepancy in fork choice branch filter. Since the validators use the state at the head to cast votes, but fork choice uses latest check points to advance. There's an edge case when the two go out of band.

The solution for is under research and can be tracked: ethereum/consensus-specs#1495
