Some kind of desync error

In a game I played today, I made a move, which showed fine on my client, but didn't seem to get sent to the server. My clock continued to count down as if it was my turn. I didn't notice until 90% of my time was gone. The move I had made was still on the board. I couldn't make another move; any move I made was just entered as a pre-move.

I reloaded the tab and when the game came up again it showed the board before my move. Then I was able to play my move again and the game continued. I had already lost all my time though. Obviously there was a brief network glitch, however it is certainly a bug in the lichess client if it can't recover without me reloading the tab myself.
Or, actually, having just read all the reports of correspondence game time outs, maybe this is the same bug? And not actually a network glitch?
