Just a couple minutes after I uploaded the apk on Google Play I got this exception reported on Crashlytics coming from a device, which is definitely not mine, ruing the latest version of the app (the one that I just uploaded).

I find particularly interesting this part:
at com.my.app.StubLib.android_location_LocationManager_requestLocationUpdates(StubLib.java:2342)
What is StubLib? I don't have neither such pachage or class under com.my.app
In my experience the updates are not rolled out nearly this fast so my guess it that the fatal exception was generated by some automated Google Play testing/verification device.
Crashlytics reports the the device as a rooted Galaxy Nexus ruing Android 4.0.4
I have never experienced or gotten reported this exception before, the code implementing LocationManager is pretty standard and this particular update didn't include any changes regarding the location manager which was ruing fine for quite some time now (let me know if you need to see the code).
Should I be worried about this error report?
