Thanks for a bug report. This is due to two threads accessing GConf in the same time, while GConf is not thread safe. Partial fix might be with a backport of [1], which initialized dbus_glib threading, thus is pretty much simple thing to do. If we go this way, then a clone for evolution would be also needed.
