I gave my comp a restart just in case and continued working and have not had that really bad issue since (however the first issue which I can continue working with continues to happen). But, it was definitely stuck in some kind of loop, because it just kept spewing those three messages repeatedly. I've never witnessed inkscape do anything of the sort before.
I think the second issue is the result of a Windows bug then. If the underlying system isn't in a sane state your own code cannot behave in a predictable fashion.
That's why I essentially stopped doing Windows development back in 1997.
(We should still verify that we handle failure of gdk calls in an appropriate fashion.)
