Conversion Error lrf -> mobi/epub (Calibre 0.6.33)

I just installed calibre 0.6.33 and then tried to import a lrf book from mobileread (Flatland by Edwin A Abbott).
When I try to convert it to epub (or mobi), calibre fails with the following message:
Code:
ERROR: Conversion Error: <b>Failed</b>: Convert book 1 of 1 (FLATLAND)

calibre.ebooks.lrf.LRFParseError: Malformed text stream ['CharButton']
The book displays without problems in the calibre ebook-viewer.
I then searched and found a prc version of the book and tried to add it to the book in calibre and got the following error:
Code:
ERROR: ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>TypeError</b>:coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\dialogs\metadata_single.py", line 138, in add_format
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\dialogs\metadata_single.py", line 152, in _add_formats
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found
When I try to just add the prc to Calibre (after deleting the previous version) I get an error message about problems with the metadata, but the book itself gets imported (without any metadata) and can then be converted (but the pictures get distorted in the mobi file).
Any Idea?

Hard to say more without seeing the file. Open a ticket and attach it (the prc version).
