This looks like a duplicate of bug 125386 to me.
Reporter, can you try this with the latest nightly build?

I'm marking this worksforme, there is no testcase anymore (I should have attached it to the bug).
Anyway, this was most likely fixed by bug 125386, anyway.
Reporter, if you could post the testcase again, then we could test it again. Thanks.
