This is no wonder:

  if (Pooma::context() == 0)
    P.create(10,0,false);
  P.sync(P.a1);

i.e. we create 10 particles - distributing over 11 contexts isn't going 
to work.  We don't handle contexts with zero particles gracefully.  I 
think there are similar problems with #patches < #contexts.  But I'd 
qualify these cases as user error.
Hope this helps,
Richard.
