I have managed to fix it. A strace suggested an issue reading the contents of:

/home/me/.local/share/resources/gwibber.stream_model

open("/home/me/.local/share/resources/gwibber.stream_model", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 9
fstat64(9, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0664, st_size=1515351, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 1515351, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 9, 0) = 0xb29f4000
close(9) = 0
write(2, "\n(gwibber:9711): GLib-CRITICAL *"..., 105
(gwibber:9711): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_type_equal: assertion `g_variant_type_check (type1)' failed
) = 105

Simply remove this file. Gwibber will rebuild it and you should be good to go.
