The actual failure occurs when your lens gives it's name as 'blank' - as in nothing. I have several 3rd party lenses and two of them give this type of name. One of them reports as an FA lens and the another reports -- --. I'm pretty sure it is in the parser of the exif data that is blowing up on unexpected (lack of) data.
