[ shrug... ] That's one of the simplest views in the entire system.
It's very hard to conceive of a bug that would affect it and not other
views, *especially* such a bug that would be exposed by a test that
doesn't actually exercise the functionality, such as you're suggesting
here.
If the cause was what I suggested, most likely the other stats views
were broken too --- were you able to pass the regression tests in that
state?
