Thank you very much for the response Milan, it was extremely helpful,
and a few details & updates are included below.

No worries at all, it's a one-off transition and then it's done.

Yay, that's great to hear, thank you!

Cool, I'll see if I can log it with the theme folks.

No prob, logged as: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635738

Thank you for the info, I could not see it in bugzilla already when I
search for the first error message, so I logged it as
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635828 , but understand that
it might behave slightly differently in git master. I don't think it
should prompt about the lack of recipients - only having one attendee
should be fine - e.g. I frequently block out times in my calendar this
way with meetings where I'm intending on inviting other people when the
details of a something are resolved, but don't add them until this is
done.

The gdb output seemed fairly content-free (apart from the threads
starting and ending, it was only one line of output, and gdb didn't seem
to respond to the 'thread apply all bt' command).

What I did manage though was to narrow down the problem to some
non-ASCII characters, and then upload a cut-down journal.ics with the
problematic characters to bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635825 . Hopefully it can be
tracked down using this file against git master.

-- All the best,
Nick.
