Update, after having forced a failover several times by just sshing to
the box and executing "show vlan" it did a full crash of both sup and a
cold reboot. Took us out for about 15 Minutes, details are still
pending.

Now "show vlan" works fine, so if someone wants to reproduce I guess you
should ISSU from 5.2(1) to 5.2(3), then execute "show vlan".
