The underlying problem is not introduced by the commit, yet it uncovered the
underlying issue. The cited commit relies on valid pages. This is not given for
due to some bugs. For now, just warn and work around the issue by just ignoring
the bad ttm objects.
Below is some debug info gathered while debugging this issue:
