No, I have seen it occasionally (though not recently), but I've never been able to trigger it when I had some time to debug it. :/
I'd be interested to know if you can trigger it with the "dev" branch of gitk, too. The dev branch doesn't use --topo-order or --date-order, but instead does the topological sort itself, so the cold-cache case is a lot faster (and the hot-cache case goes just as fast as before). And because I can now reorder the commits, I can put each open-circle commit just after the last merge that has it as a parent, which ends up looking much nicer too.
Paul.
