I too am affected. Crash in incoming call. Xubuntu 14.04, Jitsi 2.4.4997. Also applies to received text but only of a chat window needs to be spawned on receive. If the chat window is already open to the remote user, bidirectional chat works. Incoming calls still crash the client.
****BUT****
Both problems go away if, in Tools/Options/General, you uncheck the box for "Use task bar / dock alerts on incoming calls and chats". This simply prevents one from seeing if the other party is typing.
Now you have somewhere to start looking in the source code.
