Yes, this is completely mysterious.  However, the bug is real.

It is probably an upstream problem.  I would love to forward the present 
report upstream, but I have no idea to where send it.

I am inclined to raise the severity of this bug report from 
“important” to “serious”, because it is blocking Bug#938925, which has 
severity “serious” and is preventing xmds2 to enter testing.

Best,
