Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Thank you for your bug report, those issues seem to be due to invalid ecb datas, some duplicates seem to show connection issues as well (i.e gvfs mount to http location failing)

This happened to me when switching quickly to the 'Financial' mode and then to the 'Basic' mode. I haven't looked into it further, but my gut instinct is that I switched away from financial mode before the initial currency information download was finished, and something reacted poorly to the resulting callback.
