Ok, I got this one hunted down. The offending commit is this:

<snip>
commit b95886ccd619d6141a62608f11fda8999ea0a686
Author: Hans-Christoph Steiner <hans at eds.org>
Date:   Fri Dec 14 21:29:24 2012 -0500

    place new subpatch windows near where the [pd] object was created
    
    Use the last click location in the editor and the screen x/y position of
    the owner window to set where the new canvas toplevel window is placed.

</snip>

The attached patch consisting of only three objects exhibits the
problem. When creating a subpatch inside a hidden subpatch, Pd-extended
crashes. It does not so, when the outer subpatch is visible. 

Before this commit, creating subpatches in hidden subpatches was
perfectly legal thing to do.
