The actions that caused that seem to be:

 - Set the MPTCP subflows limit to 0
 - Create an MPTCP endpoint with both the 'signal' and 'subflow' flags
 - Create a new MPTCP connection from a different address: an ADD_ADDR
   linked to the MPTCP endpoint will be sent ('signal' flag), but no
   subflows is initiated ('subflow' flag)
 - Remove the MPTCP endpoint
