I suggest checking whether the control points are out of kilter.
Instead of using the "Assistant", add the images manually, then "create
control points", then switch to the "Control Points" tab and check the
control points between images 1 and 2, 2 and 3 and so on to see if there
are any obvious bad matches, and also check to see if any control points
have been allocated to images that don't overlap...delete these.
Then go to the "Optimizer" tab and see if you can successfully optimise
positions(incremental), the first choice in the optimise menu.
If that works you can progressively improve the optimisation until all
goes haywire...at which point don't accept that result.
A check on the control point errors at that stage might help.

Is the Windows version the same? Maybe it's using a different default
control point detector.

All the above is a bit of guessing, so see how you get on and report back.
