All good questions for Lab126.
One note -
This daemon is new, for the 5.6.x series firmware.
To support the 'startActions' and 'endActions' (marketing pop-up panels), the 'social networking' of the 'Popular highlights', and a whole sh.. load of other extraneous things shipped as 'features' requires a lot of downloading and an increase in uploading.
So that has been offloaded from cvm (the hardware assisted Java virtual machine) onto this new transfer manager.
The todo handler has also been changed to use this new tmd thingy.

To be fair, it isn't something particular to Lab126.
In my experience, error paths don't get anything near the amount of Q.A. work and testing as normal paths do.
And now that it has been pointed out here, it will probably get fixed.
