I can reproduce it with the netlist you attached (and the pcb
by the same name that you have posted on a few other bugs). I
haven't seen it before.

It happens consistently with 20100929 and git head. I'll look
into it. Please post it on the tracker.

If it is, as Ethan Swint suggests, the same as the invalid
