The bugtracker is always available, please feel free to report issues
in development builds. Please do not be offended if we close them with
"we know" but in the same breath we do apreciate you taking the time.
In this case you managed to give me an easy to reproduce testcase and
I found and slaughtered the bug, fix is in #2968
The issue was to do with asyncronous javascript script completion
handling. Basically javascript handling is mad and you found a case I
had not covered.
