I have a hunch the problems might have started in WebKit 2.43.2 which included a backport of:
https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/commit/8b0ce3683045d93cd365e91a4299f7e9babfc126

That's forcing us to take a whole new code path which clearly we're just discovering is a bit buggy on some platforms.

To work around it, you can export:

  WEBKIT_DMABUF_RENDERER_FORCE_SHM=1

which should have better performance than another workaround:

  WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1

Both of those also solve bug 2060938 and bug 2062146 which I suspect is a newer crash caused by the newer Mesa in Noble. So if people find the installer is reliably crashing recently then that might explain it.
