Singleplayer in intermittently fails to load player model. (xubuntu amd64, i386 build)

Game fails loading sometimes with Error "Mod_ForName: NULL name" while trying to load an empty-named model.

'broken' gdb bt output CL_LoadClientinfo (ci=0x843a3ec <cl+283756>, s=0x84307ec <cl+243820> "Player\\\0") at ../base/client/cl_parse.cpp:185

'expected' gdb bt output CL_LoadClientinfo (ci=0x843a3ec <cl+283756>, s=0x84307ec <cl+243820> "Player\models/global/m_hiro.dkm\skins/hiro_bod_1.wal\0") at ../base/client/cl_parse.cpp:185

A "naïve" workaround (mostly for further describing the issue) can be found on the attachment, but its necessary to do a proper investigation of the issue in hand.
