Unfortunately it didn't replicate in the debugger and the logged stack trace only went to 512 recursions. Worse, I didn't save gnucash.trace before restarting. Sigh.

I though we already had (albeit porous) string freeze with 2.3.14. I trust you meant "code freeze" for 2.3.15 (meaning the only changes until 2.4.0 would be bug fixes).  2.3.16 should then be "RC1", and with luck there won't need to be an RC2.
