FWIW, I ran into a similar issue some time ago: garbage characters randomly
appearing in a variable.  Took me weeks of messing around with complex code
since I couldn't get simple tests to fail.  Eventually I determined the
problem was "contrived" object references.  I was manually creating object
references like "btn 1 of stack coolstack" which for some reason was
intermittently failing and being stored as garbage.  Once I started
referencing objects using their long IDs, the problem disappeared.

Chalk this up as another "...might save someone else a few headaches...".
