The error message from the problematic reports ("data structure too deep
(hit recursion limit)") seems to originate in JSON::PP. Maybe some
debugging here can be done why it only fails here and not with any other
perl I've seen so far.

Maybe perl5-porters may also say something about it --- at least this is
the original meaning of "porters", making sure that perl5 is running on
all platforms.

There's no "or". Both types of reports are valuable.
