The rewrite of the generics library in XE8 to reduce code bloat, introduced plenty of bugs.

One was recently reported: https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-13196

In an answer at SO, David Heffernan, says that instead of rewriting the generics library this could have been fixed by making a better compiler implementation, as have been done in other compiler languages.
