Debugging non-reproducibility of ACCESS-NRI 0.3.1 -> 0.4.0

[dougiesquire]

This is a PR to debug and document where we lost reproducibility when we updated from 0.3.1 to 0.4.0. The context is that our repro tests had a bug and was effectively always reporting reproducible runs. We thus updated components from 0.3.1 to 0.4.0 under the impression that the updates were not answer-changing when in fact they are.

Companion PR to ACCESS-NRI/access-om3-configs#173. See also https://github.com/COSIMA/access-om3/issues/266
