I've seen this, too. A reliable way to cause it on my system is to start
VLC on the command line with a non-existing file. This provokes VLC
display a CPU-burning loop of error messages. The only way I've found to
stop this is to kill the VLC process.
Plasmashell is not involved in this in any obvious way, but some time
afterward plasmashell itself goes to 100% CPU, too, and needs to be
forcibly restarted.
