Ok, adding instructions:

1. Create the following file as "buginit.el" (or whatever you want to call
it):

(setq package-archives '(("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
 ("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/")
 ))
(setq user-emacs-directory "~/bug.emacs") ; just to get a clean user dir
(setq package-enable-at-startup nil)
(package-initialize)
(require 'helm-config)
(projectile-global-mode)
(setq projectile-enable-caching t)
(setq projectile-completion-system 'helm)
(helm-projectile-on)

2. Run emacs: emacs -Q -l buginit.el

Install Helm Projectile:
(alternatively I can supply all the files for the elpa folder in the
bug.emacs in a file drop somewhere)

3. M-x package-install

4. When it asks what to install, use "helm-projectile"

5. Quit emacs.

6. Run emacs again: emacs -Q -l buginit.el

7. Find a sufficiently large project, I am not sure exactly what makes the
project big enough (or if there is something else like large file names or
deep directory structure), however the Emacs codebase is not sufficient.  A
project i can always repro with can be retrieved with:
git clone https://github.com/forcedotcom/aura.git

8. Open a file in the Aura project, any file will do (LICENSE, for
example). In emacs, C-x f ~/path_to_aura/LICENSE

9. Open the helm-projectile minibuffer: C-c p f
    or M-x helm-projectile-find-file

10. Start typing:  I find "infiniteScrollerTest" should cause it to break
and produce extra characters.

Hope this is helpful!
