And if they can't reproduce it either?

How is that even possible?

Or you figure out a way to deactivate the venom part of the patch that causes the 
CI issue, when building on the CI. A bit like how Volkswagen detected testing 
cycles and activate certain required injection modifications in that case :)

Do I have to understand that the CI system also creates the official installer 
binaries?

That doesn't necessarily mean that it means anything. A CI is supposed to be 
representative of a standard user system but can fail to be.
