ok, I am not the original poster but let me tell me of an experience here I have had. I reported also something extremely strange. Of course, the comments I have gotten have been the same as here. But what happened then?

I do not know why but somebody found a race condition in the affected system. There is no fix available yet.

With other words, no matter how strange things are, I encourage people to report it. Not with the real hope to get a solution at the spot. But with the chance that somebody who knows the code well and has some strange feelings takes a look.

I also encourage my clients to do the same for our products and services.

Erich
