Not "fixed", but I can offer a simple work-around

Change:
           <nvpair id="remove-after-stop" name="remove-after-stop"
value="true"/>
to
           <nvpair id="remove-after-stop" name="remove-after-stop"
value="false"/>

That particular option is not well tested, I'd not advise turning it on.
Was there any particular reason you had it on?
