Thanks for your bug report. The crash looks like a memory corruption. Could you try to get a valgrind log for it? (you can follow the instructions from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind for that)

I found out that I could workaround the issue by uninstalling the
finnish locale for GNOME. (Sorry, I forgot to go mention it on the bug
report. It was during a working day and I simply forgot about the whole
issue.) After reinstalling the language packages, it crashes again, so
let me see what happens with valgrind...

This message war printed 4 times to STDERR:

(GNOME Control Center:1670): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set text from
markup due to error parsing markup: Virhe rivillä 1, kohdassa 9:
Virheellinen UTF-8-merkistöinen teksti

The finnish part says: "Error on line N, position M: Malformed UTF-8 text".

I don't know how long I should let this gnome-control-center run on
valgrind. I just do not see the window appearing despite waiting for 5
minutes, and valgrind says it detected more than 10000000 errors and
stops reporting new errors. I hope it's okay that I just aborted it.

Thank you for your bug on that. The shell works fine with finnish locale on my feisty desktop. Could you try to get an another valgrind log with libglib2.0-0-dbg libslab0-dbgsym gnome-control-center-dbgsym (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash) installed?
