Bug with ShareThis - specifically LinkedIn

The ST integration works great except for one odd situation when sharing on LinkedIn.

Specifically, if the description field for a question has been left blank, then the information that is passed to LinkedIn gets garbled as follows:

This does not happen with FB, Twitter and G+. Obviously some information is getting passed to ST by CA when the description field is blank.

I get the same error on both of my CA installs (dev & production) and with both the old version and the version with the modified browser page titles.

It's not a critical error, but my business is b2b and my main social network is LinkedIn.

Ideas?
