I have seen this one as well, even with git master. I think it is an upstream bug but I am not sure.

Normally for me it happens the first time I launch banshee in a user session, then afterwards it's fine. 

I've pushed this to upstream as 583107

Please follow up on:

I managed to fix the problem by deleting the ~/.config/banshee-1/addin-db-001 folder and all it contained. I believe some files have been corrupted somehow. I wish that Banshee could see that problem and fix it itself.
