This seems to have appeared in 1.4.3. It seems to be having a problem with my '-dstnodata "0 0 20"' option. With the current version, GDAL errors out and produces a 4KB GeoTIFF. With v1.4.2, no error is produced and the GeoTIFF is as expected. I can post a link to the source file on request, but it is 267MB compressed.
v1.4.2:
$ ./gdalwarp -dstnodata "0 0 20" -of GTiff -ts 256 256 -t_srs '+proj=merc +a=6378137.0 +b=6378137.0 +wktext +units=m' -te -8233185.1903991 1110477.1468928 -8228293.220589 1115369.1167029 N010W074_x1.merc.tif 1_03868.srs.tif
