Hi James, Yes. This bug is "fix committed" in the git repository. But I haven't released the next version yet.
You can do apt-get build-deps mtr and then clone the git repository and compile: git clone https://github.com/traviscross/mtr.git cd mtr sh bootstrap.sh ; ./configure ; make and if all goes well sudo make install That should get you the upgraded version without this bug.
