If you have any cycles, I, and I am sure others, will be pleased to
assist with a little debugging, like using "strace" tool for example.
You see, in your case, the bug seems very reproducible - every time
you can repeat it from what I understand. So if you have even a few
cycles, and you can keep a wheezy partition installed for a little
tests here and there, this might be very good for wheezy. and gnome I
guess..

It is a very "heavyweight" tool from end-user perspective, but very
powerful tool for certain type of "operating program till crash"
debugging - strace. Shows log of system calls (etc?) up till crash
point, just a few options to log to a file eg.
I was sad to see my old Gnome2 desktop go, small time series network
device monitors in the task bar etc etc...
