Yes, I was testing it with current and was getting quite crazy trying to 
figure out what was happening, switching to stable-7 solved this. I've CC'ed 
you on the proposed fix [0], if you can please test it (and provide 
feedback).

FWIW, I'm not planning to fix the issue in -current, so some NetBSD dev will 
have to take care of it.
