The main points from the report are:
When trying to apply a delta update on this device, it fails. The delta update has the following properties:
- Rootfs size: 6973030400
- rootfs_image_checksum: 592a7f320564105dbe57e3e668139fc4b28e996904da5168e61f2b7ec8db865f

My current theory is that this happens because of int32 overflow in a 4GB+ update. I did some checking, and can confirm that if a 4GB+ update is created, mender-binary-delta-generator generates a negative number in the rootfs_file_size field, as illustrated here:

However, I did not attempt to make an update using this artifact, and I have not confirmed that this is the same issue as faced by the reporter. In fact, his log output makes me suspect that it's not. More testing is needed here to confirm this.
But of course, what I demonstrated above is definitely a bug, it just may not be the only bug.
I have tracked it down to the usage of JsonObjectAppendInteger. It should offer a 64-bit version, but doesn't. The "Get" interface does, however.
