It is a known issue. Someone else has reported the same thing, and bisecting pointed at the same commit. But they weren't able to supply their input data for debugging by Pierre or myself as it was a private project and they haven't had a chance to attempt to debug it on their own.

Any light you can shed on the problem would be most appreciated.
