Illegal move by white (engine)

I have run in to a scenario where white is able to make an illegal move against me. I play e5 and white's pawn on d5 is able to capture my pawn on e5 and move to e6. Evidently the program thinks I moved my pawn to e5 in 10b but e6 in 11a. See attached pictures.

I am running Debian 9 and gnome-chess version 3.22.2 with hoichess 0.19.0.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En_passant. You are *far* from the first person to learn a new Chess rule this way. :) We really need to somehow explain to the user what is going on when this happens.
