FWIW this bug only happens to me when unlocking the screen saver,
usually though not always after a resume from suspend. I think it
happens when I start typing a password quickly and right away. (The
crash does not happen immediately—a few seconds later.)

If I take care to wait a moment until the caret in the password text
field is blinking steadily I seem to be able to avoid it. This
hypothesis would explain why the crash seems to happen most often when
the computer is under load (either from a resume, or because there is a
substantial background process like a big compile)—in such cases the
screen saver GUI is a little slower to react.

Alternatively it is possible the crash is related to my fingers
accidentally brushing the touchpad while typing the password.
