Comment 4 for bug 1716068

I've been testing Ubuntu Gnome 16.10 and 17.04 and the same issue happens on them.
When running "gnome-shell --replace" in a Terminal before preforming the software updates, I see a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" error in the Terminal when the crash happens.

However, the issue never appears when using the current builds of Ubuntu 17.10, both in Wayland and Xorg. Perhaps the updated GJS interpreter fixed the issue.

I still wonder if it's possible to patch the Gnome Shell package in Ubuntu 16.04 to fix this bug for the LTS users (who expect stability in their system until 2021).
