FWIW, I'd guess this is a bug in systemtap, and accordingly should be
reported to those folk.  Try filing at bugzilla.redhat.com ... although
they might tell you to try a supported systemtap release, which yours
isn't AFAICT.  What I see on my RHEL6 box is systemtap-1.8-7.el6.x86_64
and stap -V sez
