I was able to reproduce this by clicking fast on window list and switching between gnome terminal window and pidgin chat window.
At certain point doing such switches (probably while window is still 'fading') crash occurs.

Have given it a bit more testing and looks I've found way to reproduce:
1) turn on 'Window Preview' plugin.
2) Move mouse over any window button at windows list (task bar), wait unlit window preview appears
3) Double click with left mouse button.
After this compiz fails for me 100%.
