Additional info:

Comment 1 Ondrej Vasik 2016-02-10 22:58:11 UTC

As a temporary workaround, please try to use C locales. With LC_ALL=C unexpand it should not happen. I assume this is caused by recent changes in downstream implementation of i18n patch. Can you confirm?

Comment 2 vvs 2016-02-11 02:49:41 UTC

Unfortunately it didn't help. Nothing changed.
