Adding the stack trace of the crash.

On 17.04 seems to affect 32-bit only, at least for me.

Confirming that it seems to only affect 32-bit, and is caused by the MPRIS2 plugin. It's still unclear what exactly is causing the failure.

[Sean Davis (bluesabre)]

I've isolated the issue, and disabled the offending code. This functionality is otherwise unavailable in Xfce, so it should be a non-issue.
