I got the same issues with a specific file.

This opensource game contains some wave file that caused this error.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bloodfrontier/

However, the error occured WHILE unpacking the specific .wav file from the archive.
The interesting point here being that the file was still being written to at the time of indexing.

Gstreamer not being able to extract meta-data from a corrupted file should be no issue.
However, it should not extract data from currently opened files. They may be 'corrupted' for only a small time.

My suggestion:
  - make sure to not index stuff that is currently being written (delay the meta-data extraction in that particular case)
   - make sure the meta-data-extraction does not issue crash errors on corrupted files
