I tracked the issue down in the upstream svn. It was fixed in change 1897. The log entry says:

Changed paths:

Use a base-43 instead of a base-36 hash, like Samba does since version 2.0.4.
This reduces the collision chance by a factor 1.43.

Not sure how is this change relevant, but I was able to reproduce the bug in revisions <= 1896, while the bug doesn't manifest in revisions >= 1897.
