On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today (21e0900061262ddc0eb4f91a23016af244848310), I could reproduce this.
In addition of the bt, I noticed these on console: warn:legacy.tools:14873:1:sd/source/ui/slidesorter/controller/SlsPageSelector.cxx:84: PageSelector::DeselectAllPages: the selected pages counter is not 0 warn:sd.core:14873:1:sd/source/core/PageListWatcher.cxx:95: ImpPageListWatcher::GetSdPage(PK_STANDARD): page number 65535 >= 1

If some1 could try if the patch actually fixes the bug, it'd be great
Yeah, it fixes it. There are still a problem on switching mode though, but not a fatal one. Start impress and the slide bg pane has "default" selected for master slide. Switch to notes and the slide bg pane is enabled but has nothing selected. Switch back to "normal" and the master still has nothing selected either.

apart from the issue mentioned in comment 5 (guess this didn't work before), there is a minor regression: switching to Notes Master view disables bg Master Slide (new & correct) going back to Normal View bg Master Slide is still disabled (should be enabled) and empty as described in comment 5
caolanm->jONi: Can you open a new bug about the (relatively) minor remaining flaws, and we can leave this more serious crash bug as closed so we can maintain a "clean" list of crashers.
