Thanks Camille. I located the problem in index.php in our theme, which I’ve reproduced below. Located but not diagnosed, instead I went back to an earlier index.php in our most basic theme, located 2nd below. Problem went away. I then made a child theme to fix the layout provided by index.php so it matches the broken one, still no problem with JetPack 14.8, so we are good for now.

The theme that breaks for jetpack 14.7:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<section class="entry-content">
<div class="gc-content">
<?php
global $wp_query;

if ( is_category() || is_archive() || is_home() ){

$posts = new WP_Query( $wp_query->query_vars );

if ( $posts->have_posts() ) {
while ( $posts->have_posts() ){
$posts->the_post(); ?>
<div class="post">
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php echo get_the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>#comments"><span><?php echo get_comments_number(); ?> Replies</span></a>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
<?php
}
}
} else {
the_content();
}
?>

<?php if ( get_comments_number() > 0 ): ?>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

</div>
<div class="gc-sidebar">
<?php include_once "sidebar.php"?>
</div>
</section>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

and our old theme that doesn’t have the issue, but doesn’t have the required sidebar:

<?php
/**
 * The main template file
 *
 * This is the most generic template file in a WordPress theme
 * and one of the two required files for a theme (the other being style.css).
 * It is used to display a page when nothing more specific matches a query.
 * e.g., it puts together the home page when no home.php file exists.
 *
 * Learn more: {@link https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy}
 *
 */

get_header(); ?>
<div id="primary" class="content-area">
<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">

<?php
// Start the loop.
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

// Include the page content template.
get_template_part( 'content', 'page' );

// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template.
if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) :
comments_template();
endif;

// End the loop.
endwhile;
?>

</main><!-- .site-main -->
</div><!-- .content-area -->

<?php
get_footer();

So we adapted the above index.php to add back in the sidebar, via a child theme:

<?php
/**
 * The main template file
 *
 * This is the most generic template file in a WordPress theme
 * and one of the two required files for a theme (the other being style.css).
 * It is used to display a page when nothing more specific matches a query.
 * e.g., it puts together the home page when no home.php file exists.
 *
 * Learn more: {@link https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy}
 *
 */

get_header(); ?>
<section class="entry-content">
<div class="gc-content">

<?php
// Start the loop.
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

// Include the page content template.
get_template_part( 'content', 'page' );

// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template.
if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) :
comments_template();
endif;

// End the loop.
endwhile;
?>

</div><!-- .site-main -->
<div class="gc-sidebar">
<?php include_once "sidebar.php"?>
</div>
</section><!-- .content-area -->

<?php
get_footer();

Thanks for those testing suggestions, which I carried out.

With 14.7 installed, I edited the form. Surprisingly all the blocks within the Registration Form Block were labelled as having invalid content – they were all OK last login. They all responded OK to the recovery button. The form displays correctly in the front end.

I edited some fields and saved. No problems appear in the front end. With 14.8, editing any field in the form results in the spurious “warning” message.

Loaded up 14.8 and restarted PHP. Warning messages on all the fields. I’ve put a screenshot here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/16L9jL0vbDeXwv7sykUBudxY5q8_ovNuv/view?usp=sharing

Deleted 14.8 and loaded up 14.7. No warning messages.

Could there be something missing from our theme causing this behaviour?

Back-graded to Jetpack 14.7 and the Warning text is gone, without touching the form in edit mode.

Looks like a jetpack bug?
This site runs an extremely simple theme of our own.
