I found out what the problem was. I'm using Xmonad as my window manager, and it tiles the subscribe window. If I add to my manage hooks
    (stringProperty "WM_ICON_NAME" =? "Subscribe") --> doFloat
then the problem disappears.

Now I have two questions:
0. Can this crash be prevented, even if the window is tiled?
1. Xmonad floats those windows that require so, for instance the open file dialogs, or the workrave windows. Shouldn't the "Subscribe to a new podcast" identify itself as such to the window manager.
