Crazy part is that I hit this on two slaves during the same replication cycle ... yet four slaves DIDN'T crash during said replication set. I think that database is hosed on those two slaves; I'll check more thoroughly tomorrow (I'm off site today). Provider is 2.3.39, so perhaps "it fed 2.3.41 garbage" -- but still, 2.3.41 should be able to gracefully handle it? Or maybe an assert() is a graceful handler, but I don't know about that, it kills my slave in the process?

Definitely an oddball. Can you print i, j, and a->a_vals[0] thru a->a_vals[i], plus a->a_nvals[0] thru a->a_nvals[j].
