It seems that it got reported upstream in bug reports [1] and [3].
And solved with at least commits [2] and [4].
A package built with both patches applied does not crash with this
command line anymore.
Both patches would already be included in upstream release 4.2.
(Bug [5] and commit [6] seem to touch the same area.)
Kind regards,
Bernhard
