Ok thanks everyone, looks like it was a good idea to be cautious about mixing versions.. ;) I had previously removed all images/clips from the scene but didn't notice they were still in that repro file. It was a Quicktime MOV that caused the crash and knowing this is great news for the render farm!
We're also going to switch to 2014 SP2 soon but have to migrate a few scripts and plugins first.
