Great diagnosis guys, I'm just stepping in here to apologise.. the bug
was my fault, since I hadn't spotted the impact of upping the
file-format version on the multi-line text parsing code. (And didn't
test extensively before pushing that update.)

Since we've never bumped the file-format version before, that bug
(arguably hidden, but pre-existing) had never been encountered before.

Glad you've got it sorted, and I hope it didn't cause too much
down-time. The fact that you're running the git HEAD version is much
appreciated, as testing during a development cycle is really important.
Update early, update often!

Best regards,
