Connecting to server fails after stream negotiation

Hi there!
Suddenly I have a very strange issue with Smacks XMPPTCPConnection.

During connection establishing, Smack sends

<stream:stream xmlns='jabber:client' to='server.tld' xmlns:stream='http://etherx.jabber.org/streams' version='1.0' from='client@server.tld' xml:lang='de-DE'>

to open a stream. The server responds with

<stream:stream id='5332463414214598760' version='1.0' xml:lang='de-DE' xmlns:stream='http://etherx.jabber.org/streams' to='client@server.tld' from='server.tld' xmlns='jabber:client'>
    <stream:features>
      <starttls xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-tls'>
        <required/>
      </starttls>
    </stream:features>

So far, so good. However, now Smack now immediately throws a ConcurrentModificationException while trying to write to the Stream:

I’m a little bit baffled, as I can’t find what I changed in my code to cause this behavior.
I already reverted to a known good revision, but for some reason the issue is persistent and happens both with Smack as dependency/composite build, and on emulator/hardware device.

I also tested on multiple servers already to rule out that the server is at fault.

I think I narrowed it down to this commit, which breaks Smack.

Reverting said commit fixes the issue for me.

Thanks.

Should be fixed with
