I see UniversalLanguageSelector in the stacktrace which I do have. I also have VE on which I saw in another task reported to cause issues.

The error could be caused by either an existing file owned by another user or the user executing the script not having write permission to the /var/www/images/temp directory

ls -al /var/www/images 
total 20
drwxrwxrwx  3 www-data www-data 4096 May 31 13:40 .
drwxr-xr-x 20 root     root     4096 May 31 13:40 ..

-rwxrwxrwx  1 www-data www-data   84 May 26 18:12 README
drwxrwxrwx  2 www-data www-data 4096 May 31 13:40 temp

So is this something we expect to be resolved with MW 1.29 official release?
