The current version in SVN doesn't crash, as one of the explicit AVP length checks I added makes sure you have at least one byte present for the tag in a tagged string - although it also doesn't report that there's a bad tagged string, so I'll have to see why that is.
Ok, I didn't see you already checked some changes in. I'm only referring to release 0.10.8.
In the current SVN code, the bailing out *is* done by calling "g_assert()", so that Ethereal will crash if a negative length is passed - as per the above, if that happens, there's a bug somewhere and it has to be fixed there. 

good.
