Thank you for your report. The crash happens somewhere in libxml2, which is a library not part of the GnuCash sources. Additionally, the reporter can't reproduce this, making it almost impossible to debug. So there's not much the GnuCash developers can do here and I'll close this as NOTGNOME. If you can add more information (especially a reliable way to reproduce and preferable some indications this is actually something in GnuCash code going wrong), please feel free to reopen the report.
Reassign version to 2.4.x so that individual 2.4 versions can be retired.
