Thanks for the additional info. Please report back when you compile the

I opened a ticket on Redhat's bugzilla system [1], and immediately got a 
reply that the bug is a duplicate of a similar Gnome bug [2] from nearly 
a year ago.
While the results seem similar, I doubt it's the same bug as all library 
versions have bumped up since then.
But I'll try the patch suggested [3] to gdal (!) to see if it helps.
