ok -- it seems to be the effect of somehow dropped patch which was introduced
to address similar reported bug before (#544852) which was closed in
3.1.0-9.

$> interdiff -z backuppc_3.1.0-9.diff.gz backuppc_3.2.0-1.diff.gz | grep -A5 
IODirentOk 
     if ( $IODirentOk ) {
         @entries = sort({ $a->{inode} <=> $b->{inode} } readdirent($fh));
+        map { $_->{type} = 0 + $_->{type} } @entries;   # make type numeric
-#        map { $_->{type} = 0 + $_->{type} } @entries;   # make type numeric
-        map { $_->{type} = 0 + $_->{type}; $_->{type} = undef if ($_->{type} 
eq BPC_DT_UNKNOWN); } @entries;   # make type numeric, unset unknown types

no changelog describes this patch discarded for good.

P.S. CCed original submitter of #544852 as well
