It might be worthwhile to disable some or all of those and see whether that
resolves the crash; it's entirely possible that the "no blur" case cannot
happen in the upstream gnome-shell codebase, in which case it might be felt
to be more appropriate to avoid it in the extension that triggers it, rather
than in Shell itself.

I've forwarded your patch to
