The iOS 8 Beta 4 had no effect on the issue. Please note that this is not an iOS 7 issue. I have read report of this exact issue dating back to iOS 5.1, so it looks as if there is something that sometimes goes wrong during the firmware flashing process that can cause the camera to become physically damaged, akin to a CRT display being mistakenly set to a higher vertical refresh rate than the display can actually handle.
