You need to compile with debugging symbol.

Use the following configure line:
$ make distclean
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mythtv-dev --compile-type=debug
--disable-mythlogserver
and run your make ; make install

Make sure you don't have any old libraries in
/usr/local/mythtv-dev/lib (you can delete all its content)

And run mythfrontend in gdb:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mythtv-dev/lib gdb
/usr/local/mythtv-dev/bin/mythfrontend
gdb$ thread apply all bt
gdb$ run

do what you need to do when it crashes
then
gdb$ bt all

and create a ticket with the whole content there..

But having said that, I can't think of a single change in the code
that would explain a difference in scenario
John did make some changes to libmythui in his last commit.
If you do before compiling:
$ git checkout 5877f14a9e1d88ea75d3b4e9c1609920bc8ac71a

and use that version, does it crash for you?

thanks
