Description
If for any reason a meta tile on disk is broken, mod_tile will return a 404 error to the client and not attempt to re-render the broken tile (unless/until it is considered "old"). It might make sense to change that, and instead attempt a re-render if encountering a broken meta tile.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing how mod_tile handles broken meta tiles and decides whether to return 404 or re-render; done means a broken meta tile is re-rendered instead of remaining unavailable until it becomes old.
