The occurance is pretty random, but can be usually seen while accessing applications on different workspaces. For example selecting an application in one workspace from another will sometimes cause the screen to freeze and gnome-shell to crash and restart.

I've noticed this with considerably less randomness; seems to happen (almost) every time an IM status change occurs through the top-right-user-menu or through the empathy UI

[Timo Reimerdes (timorei)]

Indeed - I switched to pidgin for testing this, and no more crashes occur.

[Jigar Shah (jigar-shah1984)]

It haapens to me whenever I restart the system, or wake up the system
from suspended mode

I've built a local libfolks* with the changes from the linked upstream bug, and haven't seen gnome-shell/empathy crash since.

http://git.gnome.org/browse/folks/commit/?id=1f85f89051e63b05e271b418687c242a83e2f296

and

http://git.gnome.org/browse/folks/commit/?id=406bc1264d3f19c54ea0c929e93814d263a90cc1

(possible that only the first one actually needed)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

The fix is included in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/folks/0.6.3-0ubuntu1 ; closing this as fix released, please re open though if you are still seeing the exact same problem, thanks all.
