I too had mythfrontend segfaults from a month back. Found this tread
when googling my BT outputs.
Diffrent scenario tho. mythfrontend launch fine, but when entering
mythvideo, gallery, news and perhaps other plugins (not music),
mythfrontend would segfault with similar gdb trace patterns.

Tried downgrade gcc, but all the same.

Then i did a rough delete of everything beside database, sources,
~/.mythtv, config_stuff.
Compiled and everything is fine again.. Makes me think there was some
old headers lying around not being updated...

I had this fe/be following trunk for about 3 years.
This was on uptodate gentoo amd64. 

If you had previous installs on this, it does not hurt doing some
cleanups, if knowing what to delete.
