It happens to many other article pages including the OED article where it's still happening. I've only subscribed to the OED Talk page section I posted and there've not been any additions to that since my 18 February post here.

@Mcljlm to be clear: you are receiving all Oxford English Dictionary talk page change notifications, but not all article change notification?

@Mcljlm can you tell us if this happens to other pages you are subscribed to? This will help us reproduce the error and figure out how to solve it.

Patch here: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/1244641
I think the fix is in the right place, but I wasn't able to test it locally. I would appreciate a second pair of eyes to confirm the approach makes sense!

Dragoniez added a comment to T411507: Add a watchlist parameter option to only watch unwatched pages.

These actions (delete, edit, move, etc.) are all operating on only a single page. I'm guessing this is for when you've somehow got a list of pages and you don't know their watched status and will send separate API calls to watch each of them, and it'd be more convenient to be able to send e.g. watchlist=watch&watchlistexpiry=1+month to all and not have it clobber the permanent expiries

Dragoniez added a comment to T411507: Add a watchlist parameter option to only watch unwatched pages.

Would it make sense to change the default behaviour to not modify an existing watchlist item? The annoyance of losing the item's data is only going to become more annoying now we've also got watchlist labels.

Vector 2010 is not a responsive skin so it's not expected to work well at these kind of resolutions without gadgets. Development of legacy Vector is frozen (we are in maintenance only mode).
