[ic] AddAttr only UserTags sometimes work, sometimes fail

Hi all,
IC 5.7.2, perl 5.10.0
I'm having a weird issue with some UserTags that have all attributes
passed to them via AddAttr, for example:
UserTag demotag AddAttr
userTag demotag Routine <<EOR
sub
{
my ($opt) = @_;
...
The problem comes when accessing any of the members of the $opt hashref.
For the sake of example, let's say that we have an argument to the
UserTag called "thing", so the call would be
[demotag thing=thing_content]
Not all time, but SOMETIMES when I try to access some of the data, even
very simply, for example
::logError("opt thing is ". $opt->{thing});
the tag fails and an error is written to the global error.log:
demo.html Died in server spawn: Can't use string ("thing_content") as a
HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at (tag 'cgi') line 17.
This worked as expected in previous version of IC, and I suspect in
later versions (for example, I haven't seen this problem come up on a
5.7.4 server, not that it won't, just haven't seen it).
The weird part is that sometimes it works as I would expect. Then it
will fail and consistently fail for some random period of time. Then it
will work again.
I can work around the problem by providing an Order to the usertag:
UserTag demotag Order x
UserTag demotag AddAttr
userTag demotag Routine <<EOR
sub
{
my ($x,$opt) = @_;
Any thoughts or guidance?
Chris.
