Alvin, I did some more checking and it looks like the issue might be related to the method of installation I used ("Doing Local Install: yes"). My ./configure command line was:
I've pulled a new version of Inkscape (r10505), installed it with default options into /opt/inkscape and the crashes are gone.
I get the same assertion errors as you when opening inkscape.svg (either in batch or gui mode) so it might be still worth looking what is going on in there.
