I did find the lack of comments suspicious, maybe I did something wrong?
I'm using Ubuntu 11.10, and the ppa from here: http://ppa.launchpad.net/cafuego/inkscape/ubuntu/
(Inkscape 0.49~devel+11217+7~oneiric1 right now)
In the latest version, I'm still experiencing the same problem. I don't have to do anything else, just drag out a new text box.
The part the crash message is referring to is this:
/usr/include/boost/optional/optional.hpp
// Returns a pointer to the value if this is initialized, otherwise, // the behaviour is UNDEFINED // No-throw pointer_const_type operator->() const { BOOST_ASSERT(this->is_initialized()) ; return this->get_ptr_impl() ; } pointer_type operator->() { BOOST_ASSERT(this->is_initialized()) ; return this->get_ptr_impl() ; }
The whole section is this:
// Returns a reference to the value if this is initialized, otherwise, // the behaviour is UNDEFINED // No-throw reference_const_type get() const { BOOST_ASSERT(this->is_initialized()) ; return this->get_impl(); } reference_type get() { BOOST_ASSERT(this->is_initialized()) ; return this->get_impl(); }
// Returns a copy of the value if this is initialized, 'v' otherwise reference_const_type get_value_or ( reference_const_type v ) const { return this->is_initialized() ? get() : v ; } reference_type get_value_or ( reference_type v ) { return this->is_initialized() ? get() : v ; }
// Returns a pointer to the value if this is initialized, otherwise, // the behaviour is UNDEFINED // No-throw pointer_const_type operator->() const { BOOST_ASSERT(this->is_initialized()) ; return this->get_ptr_impl() ; } pointer_type operator->() { BOOST_ASSERT(this->is_initialized()) ; return this->get_ptr_impl() ; }
// Returns a reference to the value if this is initialized, otherwise, // the behaviour is UNDEFINED // No-throw reference_const_type operator *() const { return this->get() ; } reference_type operator *() { return this->get() ; }
Anything in there that looks suspicious?

By the way, am I the only one for whom the text tool now crashes every time I try to start a new text box? (I can copy existing text boxes and change the content though)
inkscape: /usr/include/boost/optional/optional.hpp:641: boost::optional<T>::pointer_type boost::optional<T>::operator->() [with T = Geom::Rect, boost::optional<T>::pointer_type = Geom::Rect*]: Assertion `this->is_initialized()' failed.
(kind of annoying while making the mock-ups)
Failed reproduce it based on your description (creating new text objects with current trunk works without crash on OS X 10.5.8 (32bit) and 10.7.2 (64bit)), but can trigger a crash consistently when editing text based on the steps provided in bug #960980 [1]:
1) open 'Export bitmap…' and keep it open in the dock 2) create new (regular) text object 3) enter text on-canvas 4) use 'backspace' to delete all just entered text
-> crash when last remaining letter is deleted.
