I can reproduce it almost without fail.  It has made f-spot unusable for me.

I've been able to import about 2000 images (of my 35,000).  When I start f-spot
up, it's using about 600 megs.  When I start importing images (not moving them)
from a directory of less than 100, memory usage goes to 1.5 gigs and stays there.

I've tried different folders, etc but it just keeps doing it.
