rsync - Nov 2007 - rsync 3.0.0 pre5 + hard link preversation trigger assert

I've setup rsync 3.0.0 pre5 on distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr (rsync server)
and upload the same into mandriva cooker (development distribution).

Someone reported this failure:

rsync -auvPH --delete
--exclude-from="/home/rfox/exclude.txt"
distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr::mandrivalinux/devel/cooker/i586/ .

receiving incremental file list
rsync: hlink.c:253: check_prior: Assertion `(((unsigned char
*)(node->data))[0]) != 0' failed.
Aborted

[rfox@foxbase cooker]$ cat /home/rfox/exclude.txt
- media/debug_main/
- media/debug_contrib/

I was trying to see what happend (I am unable to reproduce) when I triggered 
this one:

rsync -avPH -vvvvv distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr::plf/
[...]
rsync: hlink.c:130: match_gnums: Assertion `flist != ((void *)0)' failed.
Abandon

I don't plan to uninstall rsync 3.0 to fall back to 2.6.9, so feel free to
use
to test.

Regards.

Does this still happen with rsync 3.0.0pre8?  I am thinking perhaps it
was the problem fixed by commit eb67a690, "Don't try to process
hard-link data in list-only mode."
