This is a kernel bug then. It means the following happened:

 1) select on the FD returned data was available to be read
 2) read on the FD returned EAGAIN (meaning data is not available)

The two situations are exclusive. I suggest you upgrade your kernel. Why
this worked with the slink version probably has to do with timing and/or
glibc.
