I'm getting that quite reliably as well (4/5 times):
- start the unity session
- click on a launcher -> crash.

This one has the best stack trace.

This bug was fixed in the package compiz - 1:0.9.2.1+glibmainloop4-0ubuntu9

---------------
compiz (1:0.9.2.1+glibmainloop4-0ubuntu9) natty; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/086_fix_unreachable_options_crash.patch:
    getOptions is broken at start as some initialized options aren't map when
    calling from the core. Use direct call instead (LP: #708812).
    Fixes crashes at start.
