It might, as many bugs have been fixed since.
Can you try the same code with the most recent 2.x release, 2.7.2?
Do you have working and non-working code that you can publicly release?
Can you reduce the size and dependencies so the examples are closer to 
'small' than 'large'? And in any case, self-contained?

In my first response, I said you might have found a bug. A bogus 
exception message qualifies. But to do much, we need minimal good/bad 
examples that run or not on a current release (2.7.2 or 3.2.2).
