Please do try. It may help to narrow or give context to the problem.

As a first point of contact you should check the GDAL bug list:
  http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/buglist.cgi?product=GDAL

there are a few open HDF bugs there.

After your tests and checking to see if the bug is already reported, you
could ask on the gdal-dev mailing list as someone there probably knows
the status or could have a look at what changed between 1.2.6 and 1.2.7.
