It seems to be due to the VM - I was using the latest Pharo VM (from http://pharo.gforge.inria.fr/ci/vm/cog/linux/) .
When I use the same VM as you, it works fine.

I hadn't realised that even the VMs had diverged (other than the NativeBoost stuff, but this was the regular Cog VM, not the NB one).

here's the details:

I wonder if it's just a case of a patch in the Squeak VM that hasn't made it to the Pharo one yet?

Yes, they're passing for me.  I've pasted my context from Help | About below.

Hmm, very strange.  What OS you running?
