I've reported the following bug in the Debian BTS: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=734163
I first thought it could be due to some problem with the binNMU, but the problem still occurs after downgrading to the original 1.7.14. However I no longer get random behavior, just consistent broken behavior. I don't know whether this is Debian-specific or not.
