Since you seem to be able to reproduce it easily (and apparently
reliably), any chance you could just bisect it?

Since I assume v3.5 is fine, and apparently -rc1 is already busted, a simple

   git bisect start
   git bisect good v3.5
   git bisect bad v3.6-rc1

will get you started on your adventure..
