Returning to the subject with new information. This problem was seen by
others too and this time a fix seems to be found.

The bug appears to be CSCtz32293 and is corrected in 5.2(1)N1(5). The
upgrade was done to 5.2(1)N1(6) which shows no problems.

A similar looking problem is also described here:

I'm not sure if this relates to Steve's problem but looks exactly what
Alexander was seeing.

Thanks,
Heikki
