I'm using a 3.2-rc1 based kernel and perf userspace built from 
tip/auto-latest (commit id e471db8) + Andrew Vagin's sleep profiling 
patches.

# perf record -agT -e sched:sched_switch -F 100 -- sleep 3
[ perf record: Woken up 9 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.044 MB perf.data (~176664 samples) ]

# perf script
   Warning: Error: expected type 5 but read 4
   Warning: Error: expected type 4 but read 0
   Fatal: bad op token {

Is there a known incompatibility between kernel and userspace that could 
explain this?

I don't see this problem with other trace points (eg: kmem:kmalloc).

Thanks. I was confused about where various git trees live these days and 
was fetching from

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mingo/tip.git

which doesn't have the commit you're referring to.
