Hm, this looks wrong indeed as a matrix product. Do I guess correctly that
you have a rank higher than 1? If so, then it could be that this case has
never been properly tested.
The same problem would probably also happen for a restricted constant, could
you try that just to check (also with rank > 1)?
It would be quite helpful if you could send us a script exposing the
problem.
