summary crashes for international characters (8.1.0)

The vm summary buffer crashes whenever I receive en email with a Subject: line that is an encoded string od i8n characters. . ie something like:

Subject: =?UT-8?B?VG9waWMgcmVwbHk...

(truncated for brevity)

I can no longer navigate around the summary, but I can n/p through the presentation buffer. The error is something like 'Wrong type markerp' (sorry, lost the original error). The only way to recover is to exit vm, remove the vm cache files, and use thunderbird to delete the offending message from the server.

Is there a fix for this?

emacs 23
vm: 8.1.0
emacspeak: 36.0

This was apparently fixed in 8.2.x branch (8.2.0b)
