For the record, when I enabled the gnome3-staging PPA again yesterday
and did an 'sudo apt full-upgrade', I got adwaita-icon-theme-full
installed with no errors.

It's recommended by libgtk-3-0 and gnome-themes-standard, so I guess
that's why it gets pulled in by default.

(They did.)

Chased down the crash at last: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1386255
It's caused by overlay-scrollbar-gtk3.

Note that it appears to be enough to have that package installed (and
therefore included in $GTK_MODULES) -- I had overlay scrollbars disabled
through gsettings[*] and I still got segfaults

  [*] gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal
      (BTW this should be the default already if you've got
      ubuntu-gnome-default-settings installed)

A simpler way to reproduce:

  1. Run gnome-calculator
  2. Click the title-bar dropdown
