Problem seems to go away if you add the line

bv.get_settings().props.enable_plugins = False

(i.e. disable flash)

John, I'm not getting that segfault with the latest upstream WebKit/gtk. 
Perhaps we
need a new upstream WebKitGtk release but afaik that's being looked at by a few
people already. I'll leave this bug open until we get a new release. Nothing 
can be
done from our (pywebkitgtk) end.

Thanks for filing the bug report.

I can confirm that the segfault that I reported is no longer present when using
version 1.0.1-4+r40220 from https://launchpad.net/~webkit-team/+archive
