Actually, looking closer, it appears that lcov is just translating gcov's textual output into HTML, so that the error is probably to be blamed on gcc or gcov. And at least on RHEL, those come from the same package:
$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/gcov gcc-4.4.7-18.el6.x86_64
So if you're up2date on gcc, we might have material for a gcc bug report here. I'll try to reproduce it on recent Fedora, and if so file something at Red Hat.
The current gcc version in debin stable is:
mha@galvin:~$ gcc --version
gcc (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1) 6.3.0 20170516
(and yes, gcov is in the gcc package on Debian as well)
