Hi Anders,

Could you please try this patch on your platform. 
It should solve the issue. 
As I said before we also have a case which reproduces the issue.
After applying it the issue is not seen on test items which usually
fails. (However to prove that it is Ok
we need to execute whole bunch. It will be completed on next day)
