From the other bug (this is getting a bit tiring):

I was able to trigger the crash pretty easily with the old library still in use by opening and closing the lid a few times in quick succession and then trying to type an update to this bug. After restarting I was not immediately able to trigger it, but instead brought gnome-shell down with an assertion (g_malloc failed to allocate 1.8x10^19 bytes). Working down the stack a few frames it looked like it was trying to use an invalid structure, presumably in memory which had already been freed. Which at least raises the possibility that gnome-shell has some memory use bug which triggers on suspend and resume and that libinput was collateral damage.

I am thinking of rebuilding gnome-shell with memory debugging enabled.
