Steffen Templin added a comment - 2013-09-11 08:16 We are also affected. In our case a matrix job was created that contained a label-expression-axis. The label contained an AND-conjunction (&&). The problem remains even after removing the label expression and deleting all builds that were made with the former configuration.
