Are you talking about your own code that calls store_read?

It might be that in the two particular things you are trying, one them
returns inline data and one returns out-of-line data.  If your program does
not obey the calling convention properly (e.g. by passing the address of an
uninitialized pointer variable), then this bug might well show up only
in the case where inline data was returned.
