Issue appears on at least two different websites with enableActivityTracking (so not a site specific issue)

Problem looks to be this code:

var x = offsets[0];
if (pageXOffset < minXOffset) {
    minXOffset = pageXOffset;
} else if (pageXOffset > maxXOffset) {
    maxXOffset = pageXOffset;
}

var y = offsets[1];
if (pageYOffset < minYOffset) {
    minYOffset = pageYOffset;
} else if (pageYOffset > maxYOffset) {
    maxYOffset = pageYOffset;
}

This code should be making use of the x and y variables. Referring to pageXOffset and pageYOffset will error on any browser that doesn't have these as properties of the window object.

Implemented as part of 0.8.7
