The only workaround that I found is a file with dynamic rules.
This is an example that George sent me once. It helped for me, until it will
be fixed.

" Lenny,

You asked for dynamic rules but it looks like you didn't provide them.
Dynamic rules allow the user to specify which algorithm to be used for each
collective based on a set of rules. I corrected the current behavior, so it
will not crash. However, as you didn't provide dynamic rules, it will just
switch back to default behavior (i.e. ignore the
coll_tuned_use_dynamic_rules MCA parameter).

As an example, here is a set of dynamic rules. I added some comment to
clarify it, but if you have any questions please ask.

2 # num of collectives
3 # ID = 3 Alltoall collective (ID in coll_tuned.h)
1 # number of com sizes
64 # comm size 64
2 # number of msg sizes
0 3 0 0 # for message size 0, bruck 1, topo 0, 0 segmentation
8192 2 0 0 # 8k+, pairwise 2, no topo or segmentation
# end of collective rule
#
2 # ID = 2 Allreduce collective (ID in coll_tuned.h)
1 # number of com sizes
1 # comm size 2
2 # number of msg sizes
0 1 0 0 # for message size 0, basic linear 1, topo 0, 0 segmentation
1024 2 0 0 # for messages size > 1024, nonoverlapping 2, topo 0, 0
segmentation
# end of collective rule
#

And here is what I have in my $(HOME)/.openmpi/mca-params.conf to activate
them:
#
# Dealing with collective
#
coll_base_verbose = 0

coll_tuned_use_dynamic_rules = 1
coll_tuned_dynamic_rules_filename = **the name of the file where you saved
the rules **
