I could not use the script (I don’t have xvkbd) but I could reproduce
the bug running the script manually (the assertion failure happens
during the second unison run). I’m on unison 2.48.3 and ocaml 4.02.1.

I tried to have a quick look at the bug, and it seems the problem is
that the path of the file being backed up is empty. It really does not
make sense because the debugging information says it is “/” (and the
test for empty amounts to checking if the length of the string is 0).
