f-spot crashes (segfault) when any Export method is chosen

[Andy Smith]

When exporting any photo or group of photos by any enabled method f-spot reproducibly suffers a segfault and crashes.

This appears to be a duplicate of bug #1269760

Here's some output from strace around the time it happens:

This is not specific to the Zip file export; any export option (such as "Export to folder") behaves the same way.

If I start f-spot from a terminal, at the time of the crash I see this error message in the terminal:

I have exactly the same behaviour.
When I choose "Photo / Export to / folder" or "Photo/ export to / any other choice"then f-sport crashes immediately with the following error which seems to be the same error as Florian posted above.
