I have/had exactly the same problem. Everytime Evolution tried to show
an icon for 
an attachment it crashed. This seems to be a very strange bug.
(Its definitely not because you do not have the right pixmap).
I hope somebody at Helixcode will work on that.

In the meantime, just try to change you GTK-Theme .
For me, changing from the Eazel-Theme to 
CoolIce worked out  for me. Since I use CoolIce, everything works fine
again. 
Could please anybody explain me why the stability of Evolution depends
on the choice of your GTK-theme??
 
Merry X-mas to everyone!!!!
