Bug Description
I tried to open the panel menus. Probably by keyboard first. The panel froze & crashed. No unusual circumstances that I noticed.
I don't know if this will be relevant, but: since recently trying KDE packages on this machine, KDE's settings seemed to have fouled up Unity's, when I returned. Many of the indicator icons were wrong or missing. Attempts to clear the settings, remove KDE packages, and restart, didn't make any difference. But after this crash, weeks later, the usual icons were finally restored. Seems strange.
Thanks.

I have continued to get this crash, periodically. I think the circumstance that triggers it is, generally at least:
1. opening the app menus in the panel via keyboard shortcuts, then
2. hitting left-arrow to wrap around and access the indicator menus
Doing the above does not reproduce the crash every time.
I have not seen it happen, I think, when I hit right-arrow, to start on the leftmost indicator applet. Just the left-to-wrap-right move. The indicator-session opens, and often the menu stays stuck open for a while.
Incidentally, this behavior is a workaround for the loss of HUD access to indicator menus. (I suppose it may be what I did before the HUD arrived; I don't remember clearly.)
Thanks, Marco!
