My app has about 20,000 boots a day, and every single crash like this one is reported to be occurring exclusively with such 2.3.4 Android version. Every single one, in spite such version represent less than 5% of the devices were my app is installed. No other Android version is affected at all. Thus the causal variable is clearly isolated and identified and it is not within my code.
I am not sure if those users are using specifically that 2.3.4_r1 code neither, but it doesn't matter anyway and investigating it further is pointless since I cannot change the user's underlying OS version. I will have to live with it, I guess. I googled such problem, find this thread, and just wanted to point out that this bug is still around.
