I have tried hard to reproduce the problem, but had no luck.
You are able to reproduce it, at least in your production environment.

That’s why lets narrow down the problem space a bit and (in)validate some of your assumption:
* try the current trunk with your production setup (of course not the production data ;) ).
* try Hsqldb instead of MySQL.
