Hello I am having the same problem as you (except for all the namespace 
errors).
I am trying to use the hinge2 joints in a model that a have created 
myself. But I get this error:

ODE INTERNAL ERROR 1: assertion "bNormalizationResult" failed in 
_dNormalize3() [../../../include/ode/odemath.h]
Aborted

I also get the same error when trying the simplecar .world example. The 
simplecar.model also uses hinge2 joints for its front wheels (so that 
you can turn).  I have been trying to tweak hinge properties to make it 
work, but so far I have been unsuccessful.
Hinge joints with one axis and ball joints have no problems.

Could it be a Gazebo or ODE bug? Or do you have to tweak your hinge and 
wheel properties to make it work?
I am running the latest Gazebo SVN with ode-0.11.
