I haven't heard any other reports of this. I'm almost certain it is caused by something outside the dynamic linker -- probably a kernel bug. The debugging output you included shows evidence that the dynamic linker is seeing garbage when it mmaps your executable. The fact that it works OK after the first attempt also points to the VM system as the culprit. The dynamic linker hasn't changed much recently, but the kernel has changed a lot.
