rsync - Sep 2015 - large rsync fails with assertion error

rsyncing a tree of perhaps 30M files, getting this:

rsync: hlink.c:126: match_gnums: Assertion `gnum >=
hlink_flist->ndx_start' failed.

then a bit more output and the parent catches up to the child:

rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 8 bytes to message fd [receiver]:
Broken pipe
(32)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(1532)
[receiver=3.0.9]

it's from a remote system. No errors visible (kernel or otherwise) on either
end.
Hints?

source:
rsync  version 3.1.1  protocol version 31

dest, where commands are issued from:
rsync  version 3.0.9  protocol version 30

ill have to try upgrading dest to 3.1.1 but its not in wheezy-backports
and dont really want to mess with this production machine too much.

Ok I found a bug about this:

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6542

and it says fixed by upgrade. I found a way to upgrade. Using:

rsync  version 3.1.1  protocol version 31
 on receiving side that issues the rsync command, and

rsync  version 3.1.1  protocol version 31
 on the remote sending side.

Im still getting the same thing:

rsync: hlink.c:126: match_gnums: Assertion `gnum >=
hlink_flist->ndx_start' failed.

I opened a new bug for this but didnt see it come across the list. I have a
file tree I can reproduce this on readily (tho it's quite huge :/ ).

Any way to get around this? This is a major travesty for a backup scripting
situation I have, I expect others to bump into this too.

new bug is

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11506

i can execute specific tests if required and log output, please advise.
