Hi! Additional information. 1. Not every message crashes the roster. There are contacts in my list whose messages always crash the roster and there are contacts whose messages never crash the roster. The roster is crashed only when it's hidden in a different virtual screen. When the roster is visible in the current virtual screen -- no messages crash the roster regardless of the contact type.
2. After the roster has crashed gajim still works, I can send and receive messages. If while the roster is crashed someone whose messages always crash the roster sends me a new message -- nothing changes; gajim opens a new tab (I use tabs in one message window) and I can continue communication. If while the roster is crashed someone whose messages never crash the roster sends me a new message -- the roster restored! Not sure if restoration works while gajim is hidden but it certainly works while it's visible.
