Custom variables missing on IPN message

We have a problem that our custom variables are missing on some IPN messages. The vast majority of IPN messages include our custom variables like this:

 

...payment_status=Completed...custom={ "Type":"4", "InstallationId":"67123" }&payer_status=verified...

 

but some messages are exactly like this...  (there is not closing brace)

 

...payment_status=Completed...custom={ &payer_status=verified...

 

This causes our IPN payment processing to fail. I can not see a pattern and everything else within the message looks ok. Has anyone else experiened this?

I am experiencing same issue now in my asp.net website. I started using this IPN 3 years ago and it was working fine till last week. But last week it stared sending me weird messages. Some IPN includes "custom=101&payer_status=verified", but some IPN messages doesn't include custom values "custome=&payer_status=verified" like this.

Can any one help me please.
