This also affects me, I am using the precise Beta1, installed according to http://www.spotify.com/uk/download/previews/ . Same crash, but it crashes every startup, so Spotify is unusable. I get the main app up, but it seems to be when it's trying to load the album icons etc. on the homepage. Screenshot attached. Running on the command line yields this output:
$ spotify

I don't know if this info is useful, if something more specific is more useful I am happy to reproduce this bug.
