Gedit sometimes crashes in cairo_pattern_reference when opening a file

I get this crash not often. Generally once a day or two. It happens when I open a file in an already running Gedit generally using drag and drop from Nautilus. I use Gedit 3.2.0 on Archlinux 64 bits. I use : - cairo 1.10.2 - gtk3 3.2.0 Trace :

This doesn't look to me like a problem in gedit, might be a problem in adwaita or gtk+. I am moving it to gtk+.
A similar crash was reported downstream in Fedora : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=746535
Sadly, too much has changed in the code since this crash was reported to figure out what exactly was going wrong.
