Specifically, for the 0.4 version of julia-mode the release on NonGNU
ELPA differed from the 0.4 release that was served on MELPA Stable.

And in the case of julia-mode, for the 0.4 release, the commit that was
tagged was (meaningfully) distinct from the commit that updated the
"Version" header.
Users who had enabled the melpa-stable archive and installed julia-mode
version 0.4 experienced differing behavior based on whether they
installed it from melpa-stable or nongnu, due to the mistake by the
maintainer. Specifically, the release on nongnu was buggy since it
preceded the commit where the regression was fixed.
