It seems like there *are* actually other causes for this bug: I agree
with Michael Bienia[1] that the actual bug was probably in some old
version which failed to do the transition properly. Together with Julien
Cristau's comment[2] on the issue this sounds like a pretty good
explanation.

Meanwhile quite a few people[3][4] experienced this bug, so please apply
my patch[5] now. Ubuntu has already applied it[6].

Best regards
