Can somebody tell me whether SIGPIPE points to a broken Gnome build / installation, or to an actual program error ?

Yes.  Generally the former.


Does it mean processes are not communicating correctly ? I've found doco on how to bypass SIGPIPE in gdb, but not what's going wrong. Pointers to documentation gratefully received.

At the very least, why don't you post the output?  It's almost
impossible to figure out what's going on without that.
This is all I get from GDB :-
