Dear Martin,
If this is what I think it is, it could be down to an incompatibility with Boost and newer compilers. Ask the users about their boost version, compiler version and compiler optimisation options if you don't know already.
I found that gcc 4.6.3+ with -O3 on 32-bit with boost > 1.45.0 gave me a similar bug *some time back* but I didn't mention it because my platform is how do you say, non-standard. I haven't looked at the situation since. I gave up with boost > 1.45.0 because it also failed to render text on a path properly. (Put some text on a curved path and use the node editor to wiggle the path. Text is noticeably clipped in a stair-case fashion.)
If it isn't, or if someone has already fixed this, sorry for the noise.
Yours,
Is.
