I've just tested it with git master and it is working fine for me. We
had a problem with an accidental ABI break in a59bd4cfbb recently. Could
it be that you've caught this commit and built gnome shell against it,
then upgraded to master which fixes the ABI break so your gnome shell
build is broken? It would be good if you could rebuild everything that
depends on Clutter to verify this.

That problem might explain why it doesn't crash in a sensible place. The
ABI break could make it jump to an invalid address.
