Metadata retrieve gives UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION in Winter 15

When Winter 15 was released, a tool I use to version control my Salesforce configuration started to give this error for about 80% of all metadata retrieves, when I call the checkRetrieveStatus method in the Metadata API. If I try again with new retrieve requests it will eventually succeed. What should I do about it?

{ done: 'true',
  errorMessage: 'UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION: An unexpected error occurred. Please include this ErrorId if you contact support: 235641371-161806 (-501837174)',
  errorStatusCode: 'UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION',
  id: '09Sg0000001mhFOEAY',
  status: 'Failed',
  success: 'false',
  zipFile: { '$': { 'xsi:nil': 'true' } } }

Dear Salesforce, do you have an estimate of when you will look at this case?
