Well, you're obviously running mis-matched...

I'm running current and don't see this problem. One might think
(I'm not sayin' me) that this could happen if data was lost on
the network but not if this happens every time. Every once in
a while I see an empty or nearly empty list but then reload and
it's fine.

One thing I've seen happen is if a bogus entry is in the 'record'
table it can show a weird entry but not as you describe. Still,
you may want to look at your record table for things like a NULL
title or non-printable chars in text fields. Also, run mysqlcheck
for good measure.
