(Get the code!)
**SOLUTION** **SOLUTION** **SOLUTION**
I have found the solution! (at least for me)...
Load up the CompizConfig Settings Manager, and under the section of options marked "Utility", DISABLE "Regex Matching". I have gotten to a stage where I could reproduce the crashing of emerald at will (by alt-tabbing between two open gnome terminals), but when I disabled regex matching, all the problems went away and I couldn't get it to crash anylonger.
I'm not sure how important regex matching is. I hear it's used for a few other plugins, but I haven't seen anything major as a result of disabling it. So there you go. :)
