From the stacktrace I would say this is a bug in nux and not in unity.

Worth keeping on the radar. Mirco, could you investigate first, which conditions could help reproduce the problem. Then, look into the recent fixes that were made in nux/unity to correct object lifecycle and signal management problems.

This bug was fixed in the package unity - 3.8.14-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity (3.8.14-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * New upstream bug-fix release.
    - In a dual monitor setup with different resolutions, Unity places windows
      in the "dead zone" (LP: #752098)
    - Left pixel of launcher is not clickable on session start (LP: #758026)
    - unity crashed with AttributeError in reset_unity_compiz_profile(): 'str'
      object has no attribute 'get_string' (LP: #737320)
    - unity --reset crashes with NameError (LP: #774280)
    - Bottom icon on launcher tilts when it maybe shouldn't if icons fill
      launcher nearly exactly (LP: #728949)
    - Dodge active window - launcher should not show when modal dialog is
      opened (LP: #718185)
    - Unity maximizes windows that don't support resize on launch (LP: #769781)
    - compiz crashed with SIGSEGV in sigc::signal_base::impl() (LP: #762801)
    - inactive menus becomes brighter on sub-sequent clicks (LP: #733740)
    - Unity crashes when dynamic quicklist dbusmenu contains a hidden menuitem.
      (LP: #759174)
    - Opening quicklist with launcher keynav returns focus to previous window
      (LP: #750781)
    - window's title does not fade in the right position (LP: #722178)
  * debian/control:
    - depends on compiz for some people upgrading (LP: #773253)
  * debian/patches/01_add_scp_to_systray.patch:
    - remove, upstream now
