Therefore, when updating the mesh path to that intermediate node, we should not set the MESH_PATH_SN_VALID flag. BUT, if the flag is set, it should not be unset as we might have received a valid sequence number for that intermediate node in the past. This issue was reported, fixed and tested by Ya Bo (游波) and Pedro Larbig (ASPj).
