I opened my case with TAC last week and asked for it to be escalated to 
the DE folks.  My TAC engineer ran the case up the flagpole for me and 
this issue is now acknowledged to be and is officially logged as a bug. 
  The BugID is CSCsz85597.

My engineer suggested downgrading to the latest 8.0.4 interim release as 
a temporary workaround while the DE folks address the bug and work it 
into a maintenance release, hopefully for 8.2.  It should be a really 
simple fix so hopefully it doesn't take too long.  The engineer said 
that at least one other person is now attached to this bug and they too 
were running RANCID.
