I had the same issue on a Lenovo Thinkpad T540p.  gnome-flashback
crashes in flashback_monitor_manager_read_current_config(), and I was
able to work around it by setting the org.gnome.gnome-flashback display
-config key to false (at the price of losing the Display control panel
functionality).

As for a proper fix, please let me know if you need any further
information to help diagnose the issue.
