Recieved SMS garbled

I have received multiple SMS where the text in the message is mixed up with itself. Sentences at the end are at the beginning and the other way around. The messages doesn't have to be long (concatenated) and are not mixed with other messages.

Translated example from tonight (original was 138 characters long):

w how much time is left, so I can tell Jim?
Maybe possible tonCucumber
Carrot
Egg
Fruit

It possible to pick it up on the way home :)
Please tell me when you knoightn anyway :)

Points for putting it back together the way it was meant :)

Update: there were some åäö in the message and the smilies were "normal" smilies and not ascii as transcript shows above, probably making the message to 8-bit mode. I've counted the characters for each part and they are 67 characters each, matching the 70 character limits for 8-bit messages. This makes it even more related to https://together.jolla.com/question/102020/bug-received-sms-mixed-together/ as the parts are mixed, but in the same message, not with other messages.

Reading up on concatenated SMS I found that the three bytes "missing" from the character count is used for identifying which message the parts are mixed, but in the same message, not with other messages.belong to and their internal order. It seems that Sailfish has a bug where the order isn't used.

This happens repeatedly for me now, always the same contact and always intra-message reordering. Is there a way I can launch message application to trace this?
