Well, you're the only one who's seen this problem, and none of the
rest of us have any idea how to reproduce it.  So if you want something
to get done in a timely fashion, it's up to you to show us a test case.

My guess is that it wouldn't be that hard to anonymize your data to
the point where it'd be OK to show to someone else.  It's unlikely
that the problem depends on the *exact* data you've got --- though it
might depend on string lengths and the number/locations of duplicates.
But you should be able to substitute random strings for the original
values while preserving that.
