One thing you could try is, rather than disabling GSlice using
G_SLICE=always-malloc, set it to perform extra sanity-checks using
G_SLICE=debug-blocks. This catches people slice-freeing the wrong size of
block, which always-malloc does not. (No point in using Valgrind when doing
this, though.)

If you could also run Idle with debugging output so we can see what happens
leading up to the crash, that would be great. It might be possible to scrape
the debug log and turn it into a test case. :)
