(Get the code!)
I should point out that I've combined multiple text objects straight to a path probably hundreds of times on the Inkscape 0.46 RPM for Fedora 9, and I never saw the crash until I built it from Subversion.
One primary difference I noticed was that a text object when converted to a path now produces a group, each character being a path within the group, instead of producing one path with many subpaths that make up the letters.
This of course makes simply combining them fail, even if you did convert them to paths manually. For the same results you now have to Ungroup them after the conversion and before Combining them: Convert To Path -> Ungroup -> Combine Paths.
I don't know if this provides any insight into what's causing the crash or not. Could it be a simple oversight in the addition of that feature? (Although that wouldn't explain why Mr. Penner was just able to reproduce it on a version before the change, would it?)
I don't know what the most ideal behavior under these circumstances WOULD be, but it certainly shouldn't segfault.
