Ok. For the most part it isn't crashing, but there are specific things
I've found that will crash reliably, most of which are in
libchamplain, but there is one particular crash in Gdk that's been
bothering me.

Gdk.keyval_name(keyval)

segfaults _every_time_. What should I do?

In particular the drawing functions which are now exclusively cairo.  As for Python 3, like I said we are trying to keep Python 2 compat but we don't guarantee that for future releases.  There are a couple of syntax changes that you have to be aware of - http://wiki.python.org/moin/PortingPythonToPy3k

Thanks again John, you've consistently been the most informative and helpful.
