The job retry counters don't seem to be working, at least for ParsoidCache* jobs:
gwicke@tin:~$ mwscript showJobs.php --wiki=enwiki ---type=ParsoidCacheUpdateJobOnDependencyChange --list | grep ParsoidCache | grep -c '=201401'
86
gwicke@fluorine:/a/mw-log$ grep ParsoidCache runJobs.log | grep -c '=201401'
4006
Normally I'd expect those jobs to be retried three times only (default setting for 'attempts' in puppet/modules/mediawiki/templates/jobrunner/jobrunner.conf.erb ). Instead, these jobs have been around since January. The 86 jobs have been executed 4006 times today alone, which works out to more than three retries per job.
Example runJobs.log line:

t=14415 would be over the default timeout of 3600.
