I see in the backtrace that there are done GTK+ calls in a dedicated thread, while such calls can be done only in the main (UI) thread, which leads to this crash.

Any GtkWidget creation or manipulation should be done exclusively from the main/UI thread, thus make sure it is done that way. Of course, evolution can freeze for a little time (depends on the message size), until its formatting is done. It's unnoticeable with usual messages.
