I did hit such a case... I have a very simple compound datatype containing two scalars, an Array and a string (created with matlab - essentially no metadata). As far as I can tell, the problem is with the array. Should be noted - I'm using the 1.3 beta2 (and hdf5 1.6.5). Maybe this is not a problem in stable versions.
