The fastest and easiest way to find out whats going on is to follow
Paul's advice and simply run it once in gdb with a breakpoint on g_log.

Thats what I would do to pinpoint exactly whats going on.
(it could be a malformed Glade file and maybe a bug in Glade,
it could also mean a bug in GTK+ parsing GtkButtonBox's).

Yes, you should ask the GTK+ team to do that by filing a bug against
gtk+:GtkBuilder, those messages can trigger without GtkBuilder parsing
the UI but in that case gtk_buildable_get_name() will still return the
widget's class name by default.
