Facebook Send button returns "Invalid Source" error

Recently our Facebook Send button has stopped working.

For some reason it returns "Invalid Source". It's unclear what this refers to. Other Facebook code on the site works, and there is no source attribute for the Send button either, making this more confusing!

The actual code returned to the browser from Facebook is this: for (;;);{"__ar":1,"payload":null,"onload":["SendButtonForm.getInstance(\"uzu1w0_1\").handleError(\"Invalid Source: \");"]}

If anyone could at least tell us what the Invalid Source is returning to, that itself may help!

Thanks, Mark

edit: looks like it may be this bug http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/502095993139983?browse=search_500f3189916434754803073

The bug still appears. When we use <?php the_permalink() ?> as data-href tag, "Invalid Source" appears. BUT if we specify data-href as for example http://www.example.com/ then this FB-recommendation/like works properly. (Of course this is nonsense if we use Wordpress or other PHP pages.)

I verified the code <?php the_permalink() ?> generates, and that is a correct HTTP-address, which means this is a Facebook-bug. Mark, please hit your programmers' faces! Thanks! :)
