Which version of systemd are you running? Which distribution are you
running?

Fedora usually backports all important fixes to older versions.

It might be a good idea to grab the journal files that cause this and
view them on a different host/VM with an up-to-date Fedora 18 to see if
they can be parsed cleanly with a newer journal version. If not it would
be great if you could maybe send the files that cause this to me
personally, so that I can try to figure out what causes the parsing
problems.
