Both your problems are both based in a bug either in
Comm::ConnOpener::start() or comm_openex() functions. The assert exists
in order to catch these brokenness rather than permitting the traffic to
get screwed up silenly ("watermelon metrics" etc).

I have attached an experimental patch which might resolve this to the
bug report.
