Sorry I was not clear, I did *not* compile it myself. I just used the .dmg from:
https://inkscape.org/en/download/

Just a simple rectangle drawn in Inkscape. I also tried copying an svg from a webpage (an svg created with Inkscape), and pasting it in. Both crashed at the paste command.

I just turned this setting off and the crash no longer occurs. At least not with the rectangle drawn in Inkscape. Pasting an svg from a web page is not possible with this setting off. (I must have missed the recommendation for this setting.)

After turning that setting off, the objects cut and pasted in Inkscape are pasted as vectors. With the setting on they are pasted as rasterized images (in 0.48). So it's possible that this is also related to bug #307005
