No, I expected a fix to be in the perf tree ...

Also note that the following fixes the problem for me:

diff --git a/tools/perf/util/branch.c b/tools/perf/util/branch.c
index d40776c44b06..b7b898f2872e 100644
--- a/tools/perf/util/branch.c
+++ b/tools/perf/util/branch.c
@@ -88,7 +88,8 @@ const char *branch_type_name(int type)
 		"ERET",
 		"IRQ",
 		"SERROR",
-		"NO_TX"
+		"NO_TX",
+		""
 	};
 
 	if (type >= 0 && type < PERF_BR_MAX)


PERF_BR_MAX has been increased by one (when PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI was
added), but a new string has not been added to the array ...
