Is the appropriate method still to hand back the converted file on STDOUT?
Yes. Are you handing binary data though? Perhaps it's an ASCII binary thing?
Yes both XCF and ZIP contain binary data. The procedure I'm using hasn't changed and yet this crash has appeared. I do something like:
sys.stdout.write(data)
Even if it was an ASCII<->Binary problem I wouldn't expect Inkscape to crash. I would expect at worst that the resulting file would be corrupt. Can you reproduce this crash on your end with latest SVN? Just make a few layers with stuff in them and save as XCF.
Ted, do you have any ideas? Backtraces follow.

This is a GIO call, what version of GTK+ are you using?
I'm using Gutsy, so I'd have to guess I'm using the version listed at packages.ubuntu.com (i.e. 2.12.0-1ubuntu3). But I would have to check at home to be sure.
