Yes, pretty sure that was triggered by a bug in comment tracking when
it moved into quote tracking. From my testing here it should have been
fixed in v0.17, you have v0.16. Andrew has the change queued up so it
should be on its way to mainline. You can get the latest from the url

Thanks for the report.
