[HF 7 -> 8] Unexpected error deserializing ledger contract state from bytes (memory access out of bounds)

[adamreynolds-io]

Context & versions

• Contract compiled with compact 0.28
• Contract deployed with node version 0.21
• Node upgraded to 0.22 with runtime upgrade to spec 22000
• Toolkit version: 0.22
• Network: devnet

Steps to reproduce

1. Deploy test_perf_runtime_limits using 0.28 compact contracts on devnet using node 0.21
2. Upgrade node to 0.22 and perform a runtime upgrade to 22000
3. Try to call the contract with a fresh toolkit 0.22

Actual behavior

The toolkit throws:

Unexpected error deserializing ledger contract state from bytes (memory access out of bounds)

Expected behavior

Contracts deployed before a hard fork (HF 7 -> 8) should remain callable after the runtime upgrade.

Ledger 7 is not supported. We will consider issues with HF from ledger 8 to 9.
