Scott Ritchie: the crash you were seeing might be bug 250425, which was fixed in the same upload which should have fixed this bug.
It does not crash immediately for me (I can get to the main menu, which was not possible before; I did not test further by loading a ROM). And it seems it is now in intrepid-updates, not intrepid-proposed, so you can go ahead and file a bug report.
