An odd bug has developed this morning. At the moment, api.stackoverflow.com/1.0/questions is returning a question of the format...

Note that the owner sub-object has no display_name key (display_name is non-optional according to the documentation). The single question route, http://api.stackoverflow.com/1.0/questions/3907189, returns the display_name as "user463053".
This has broken Six to Eight, as the response decoder now fails with a missing mandatory key error.
