I have been able to replicate the issue without installing additional extensions. If I install a copy of Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.2 (with a lot of updates available for it) and keep the app grid (Super+A) open while installing the latest updates (from the Software Updater or Synaptic) I was able to reliably replicate the crashing issue in the middle of installing the updates.
