When I get problems like this that look convincingly like problems with
certain xforms objects or calls I go looking for memory access mistakes in my
program. Invariably I find I'm using a buffer too small or a freed pointer
or some stupid thing; not necessarily anything to do with the code that is
actually failing. They can be very hard to find.
