I'm not sure what went wrong internally here that this hasn't been
fixed, and I'm personally embarrassed. I am working on it until I have
a patch/solution.
currently am trying to reproduce the issue, am in some weird how to

me down.
Hints or clues (I'm trying to follow the repro steps mentioned in
some related threads) are appreciated.
