Alexander,

Could you or Harold please post a debug snapshot somewhere?  I don't have
a build tree set up, and the problem is relatively minor and doesn't
affect me too much, so I don't have the motivation of setting one up just
now.  I will try the debug snapshot, though, and post the stack trace.
