There are various reports about such incidents with other packages, too. Maybe related. And I think it's still not known under which circumstances gconf post-install scripts fail. When that happens, gconf defaults are not created, and applications which are programmed to not handle missing defaults, give fatal errors or segfault. The quite common practise to redirect stdout/stderr of scriptlets to /dev/null is not helpful in such cases.
