Hey, I believe what you're seeing, however I'm telling you how this happens. There hasn't ever been a server-side bug where a key gets set to the wrong value. It's possible, if the protocol is corrupted, for garbage data to end up in a value, and only with the ascii protocol. Though you said you were using spymemcached, so maybe that's on the binprot...
I'll add a caveat because your dev environment is running a fork of ancient code :) I'd feel much more comfortable stating the server is good if you were on a recent version. If you can reproduce it with the dev environment, I would absolutely focus on it there. Try a different client if you can, or a different version of spy, or otherwise change the environment until it stops happening. IE; you may be using spymemcached wrong (if binprot, reusing opaque values, missing locks, etc). it's very hard to tell without the code, since so many things can go wrong which look like this.
