The crash is in gs-plugin-loader.c:

        g_hash_table_insert (priv->events_by_id,
                             g_strdup (gs_plugin_event_get_unique_id (event)),
                             g_object_ref (event));

In that the uniqe ID can be NULL. I'm not sure if this is a bug in the code that generated the event or we should handle NULL ids. I've asked upstream for clarification.

    Do not crash if a GsPluginEvent has no unique ID

    We need to find the root cause of this, but in the meantime don't explode.
